Revising my review downward now that I've finally gotten around to making a bunch of them. The tone and the concept of this book are great. However, the recipes themselves are incredibly hit or miss and better versions of almost all of them can be found elsewhere. One exception is the English muffin recipe, which I like much better than the Cook's Illustrated one. I do give the author credit for encouraging me to make many of my own staples now rather than buying them at the grocery store. If you like this book or are interested in making stuff from scratch I'd also recommend Alana Chernila's "The Homemade Pantry",
