I love this book! I checked it out from my library and not even half way through I knew I needed to buy my own copy. Great recipes that are straightforward and simple. There’s a good variety in recipes and the photography is stunning. So far I’ve made the Everyday Sourdough, Cinnamon Raisin Swirl, Sunday Morning Bagels and Decadent Chocolate Chip with great results!
Detailed instructions and useful tips, gorgeous pictures, cute illustrations, I would have liked more varied recipes, but this is a nice book for a novice sourdough baker. 3.5 stars
Very clear directions, terrific photos in the technique section, and a marvelous variety of recipes. My first loaf yielded the most open crumb I’d achieved to date, and I can’t wait to try more of the recipes.
Update May 23, 2020:
My sourdough starter is as active as it‘s going to get, I think. I finally dared and started the Everyday Sourdough Bread. It‘s the first bread recipe in this book, the beginner‘s loaf.
And here it is, a little flat (I probably overproofed it), but with a crunchy crust and a mild, tangy flavour. Yay!
I am pleased with this book and it’s hands-on, practical recipes and and step-by-step photographs. Recommended! I will continue to work my way through its recipes.

Got this for my current sourdough obsession. I just leafed through it from front to back and love the look of it and the bits I did read so far. This looks like a good beginner‘s book with clear instructions, with accompanying photos of how to knead, form, etc... looking forward to trying out some of these recipes, once my starter is ready to go...
It tickles my funny bone that she recommends Le Creuset as a dutch oven for baking... guess what I have sitting in my kitchen for roasts... score!

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.
Second of the quarantine baking books. This is a perfect starter book for anyone looking to pick up bread baking. It is not very technical, but it has the most important feature for any cooking book....every recipe works, is easy to understand, and comes out delicious.
This book is fun to read and the layout is easy to navigate. The information is really helpful, especially the troubleshooting and the photos of what it should look like at the various stages. The recipes are very tempting and cover a wide range of ideas and types of bread. I also like that she includes extra recipes to use up the normally discarded extra starter.
