Just looking at the pictures you can almost smell the aroma of fresh bread baking. Her method and step-by-step illustrations are brilliant, whether you’re making a baguette, a plain white loaf, a tarte flambee or croissants. The anecdotes provide a lovely personal touch, too. I agree with the previous poster that it doesn’t fully explore sourdough (I never succeeded with her starter recipe). Now that I’ve managed to establish a starter, I have made her traditional French round sourdough loaf, which is very good.

I have this book, translated in French, since the 90’s and it is a great one, I would also recommend it, but only for yeasted breads. For sourdough breads, it doesn’t go very far (even though it contains a few recipes with sourdough). Hey!
