As much as I enjoyed reading this, and would enjoy having a set of these books of my own one day - I feel like it was such a shame that the design and layout of the recipes/content are so dated. Despite the minimalist and clean outside/cover design, the inside wasn't impressive - it looked like one of those '100 things you need to know about bread'/'A-Z bread recipes' kind of books that one can easily find in a pile of books in a car-boot sale. There were a lot of good info/tips about bread/breadmaking - I just wished that it was more visually appealing - and that better photos were used. Even the way it was written felt like they needed a better editor. That being said, I am not ignoring the fact that despite all of its rushed-mess and aesthetic displeasure - it is still a good collection to have/own. It's also quite pricey - so I was very disappointed with the lack of care/attention towards the details. Nevertheless, it is definitely worth reading if you're looking to make a good loaf. I didn't know that 'vital wheat gluten' could be a fun ingredient to use with whilst making bread - like for making a high volume, big open-crumb rye bread. I guess 'seitan' isn't just vegan fried chicken.
