Bread-Bakers v102.n054.16

I went to Barnes & Noble and while there saw and bought a new small and 
inexpensive book. "The Cook's Encyclopedia of BREAD MACHINE BAKING" by 
Jennie Shapter - for $7.98. It is 256 pages of what looks to be very good 
recipes, many I have seen before, some are quite unusual. 7 x 9 inches, 
semi-hard back. Superb photos and illustrations - better than books costs 
3-4 times as much.

The first 56 pages deal with technique, how to use bread machines, (a boon 
for people with "orphan" machines), hand shaping, glazes, adapting recipes, 
etc. The recipe categories are:  Basic breads; Specialty Grains; Flatbreads 
and Pizzas; Sourdoughs and Starter dough breads; Savory breads; Vegetable 
breads; Rolls, Buns and Pastries; Sweet breads and yeast cakes; Teabreads 
and cakes.

For the price it is an incredible bargain. I would recommend it to anyone - 
if nothing else, just to keep by the desk to use as a reference to answer 
questions. For less than 10 bucks!
