Rating: - no wheat free or gluten free bread in here!
The book does not contain recipes for people with gluten or wheat allergy/intollerance; only an american free phone number to get help in getting the right information/books/help. I wasted my money and time! ps I agree: is very much for the American odeon! Degrees are in F and not in C. Very surprised to find a Pandoro recipe though!!
Rating: - OK but too American
The recipes I chose were OK but the book is too American for easy use. You spend your whole time converting measurements and checking that the ingredients are easily available in the UK. One minute they talk about the importance of accurancy with ingredients; and then they talk about 2 1/4 teaspoons dry yeast (and is that the same as dried yeast?). The recipes are also for the American market - Old Milwaukee sourdough rye bread, pumpernickel roll-up sandwich. I'm off to find a British book.
Rating: - Delicious
The recipes in this book are really yummy and interesting. My only issue was that this book was written with an American audience in mind. This is not in itself a bad thing, but means that some measurments are difficult (butter for example does not come in handy sticks with tbsps demarkated on it this side of the atlantic and can be a bit of a pain to get in and out of a tablespoon...). Similarly things such as cans of apple pie filling, required by a few recipies are not that easily come by over here. I also found that the recipes used far to much yeast, but once I'd sorted out a few overflows, I was well on the way to delicious and interesting recipes. I especially recommend the brioche dough.
Rating: - The best little bread machine cookbook
I live in England nine months of the year and the US the other three. I keep this cookbook with me and use it in bread machines on both sides of the Atlantic. I have never had a failure following the recipes and the bread is absolutely wonderful!
