4.75 * for usability reasons.
Been using her recipes for 4-6 weeks now.
Have had consistently successful sourdough, unlike my first excursion into sourdough a few months ago.
Taste great, practical and practicable tips, my house smells like heaven.
Such a good book that I bought it for myself after checking it out from the library.
USABILITY PROBLEMS / DRAWBACK:
If you don't have 20/20 vision, this book may not be for you. The font is small & grey on a white background. I have had to get out the magnifier at times to use the book. Almost did not purchase it for this reason. But the recipes were so good I broke down and got it. I struggle to read it every time I use it. So, be forewarned.

My first sourdough book I’ve bought. I like her recipes the only things I’d say is the techniques I learned are different than hers and I don’t always follow her directions.
Example it sounds like in some of the recipes she doesn’t put it in the fridge which I always do after shaping.

Really love her recipes! Every one I’ve tried on her blog worked out perfectly so I can’t wait to try some of the recipes in this book!
Perfect for a sourdough beginner. All of the recipes are straightforward and easy to follow but result in beautiful and professional looking baked goods. I’ve made the everyday loaf, the bagels, focaccia, and more. I can’t wait to bake more with the recipes from this book.
I haven't had a chance to to try most of the recipes in this book, but everything I've made so far has been absolutely delicious (and I am NO expert when it comes to baking bread... very much a beginner!) To make things even better, it's the most user friendly guide to sourdough I've been able to find (and I spent weeks trying to research sourdough bread and falling down the "rabbit hole" so to speak) Raffa breaks the process down into manageable stages and even gives helpful time management suggestions. The photography and design is also very beautiful.
I love that the idea of this cookbook (as outlined in the introduction) is to explore when you become curious, not overload yourself with details and techniques, something that is all too easy to do with sourdough bread! I often find myself pulling out this cookbook in idle moments to explore a new recipe and strategize what I want to try next. I highly recommend to anyone wanting to try sourdough!

I’ve been baking bread for more than ten years, and sourdough for almost that long. This is the single best resource I’ve used for sourdough baking, and the first thing I recommended when my mom was trying to grow her own starter. The explanations are clear and concise, the recipes are delicious, and I finally feel like I have a real handle on how to successfully maintain my starter after years of struggling to understand why sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn’t.
