Summary: Baker beware!
Comment: I saw this book at the original Sur La Table store in Seattle. I'm interested in bread baking and bread related books, so I looked in it. Regardless of other things that it may have to recommend it, I noticed that at least one of the recipes calls for using brewer's yeast as leavening. Well, brewer's yeast is nutritional (vitamin 'b') and great to shake on popcorn for flavor but it has no leavening power; it is spent! I put the book back on the shelf at that point, rather amazed that the authors would not have known that. One simple but major error like that is enough to make me suspect the value of any of the recipes. I couldn't regard it as a serious work, as least as a collection of recipes.

Summary: A must buy for francophiles and bread lovers!
Comment: I found this book to be amazing! The pictures by themselves make this book worth buying and reading. The text of the book is interesting and goes into the history and practice of bread making in France.

The recipes are wonderful, though not very formalized. However, having fun working through the recipes is what it is all about, n'est-ce pas?
