Having read several books about the art of building wood fired ovens, I bought this one having read several reviews that gave it a real positive view. However, I was quickly disappointed by a book that is full of history and detail about ovens used in large houses of bygone ages and the detail behind the history through the ages. There is very little real detail that anyone looking to build an oven could really utilise.

It makes for interesting background reading but the detail for building is extracted from the view of how some of the old commercial/large houses built their ovens and hence is of limited scope. The detail about the build is not there if you want to construct something yourself.

Books : Making Bread at Home
I am kind of an impatient fellow and my first attempt from this book was probably the most difficult recipe of the lot - pumpernickel bread. This was a complete DISASTER with the bread taking a lot longer to rise, sticking to the "non-stick" pan and basically was inedible. I stopped making my own bread for nearly a year! Back to the bread maker for me!

However, as my wife had bought me the book, and it is the only bread book I have, I went back to it. I had, in the meantime, benefited from a bread making tutorial from my brother and have now tried five or six different recipes from the book and they produced truely EXCELLENT bread. Very faithful to the type they were supposed to be especially the Focaccia, Vienna Bread and San Francisco Sourdough. ... Read More:
