Summary: Excellent for First Time Bread Machine Users
Comment: I bought this book when I bought my bread machine - it has been great. I really enjoy making the bread because it is healthy. The recipes are simple. I love the English Muffin bread and the Raisin Bread. The recipes always come out right and the bread tastes great.

Summary: Wonderful, healthy recipes!
Comment: Books with healthy bread machine recipes can be hard to find. . . this is one of the best! There are two "categories" of recipes: the "transitional" recipes still contain some ingredients best avoided; the other recipes are the best nutritionally.
The recipes are listed for both 1 and 1 1/2 lb loaves, and are easy to make. The onion-thyme bread is one of my favorites! There is also a recipe for hand-twisted, whole wheat pretzels that is really good too.
If you're concerned about the types of foods you put in your body, and love warm, fresh breads of all types, get this book!

Summary: Great recipes but 100 unneeded pages
Comment: Pro's:
* The recipes work and are delicious. I especially recommend the Italian herb bread.
* There's an emphasis on whole grains with about 70% of the recipes containing no white flour, white sugar, eggs, or animal fats.
* Contains a lot of information a bread machine owner might want, such as how to care for the machine, how the machine works, how to mill and store grains, nutritional information about the various grains, all about yeast (buying, storing, measuring, etc.). Most of the bread machine info is generic and applies to other machines as well as the Breadman.
* Detailed glossary of ingredients.
* Bonus recipes for spreads, such as salsa, hummus, and jam.
* Although recipes are only for 1- or 1 ½ pound loaves, you can double the 1 pound recipe if your machine has a 2 pound capacity.
Cons:
* My biggest pet peeve: for each bread recipe, the 1 pound and 1 ½ pound variations are listed on separate pages, unlike other bread machine books which list several size variations on the same page. So if you want orange walnut bread, for example, the 1½ pound recipe is on page 230, and the 1 pound variation is on page 231. I counted 97 extra pages that didn't need to be in the book, had both sets of measurements been on the same page. This amounts to purchasing 34% extra pages, inflating the price and wasting trees.
* Although the book emphasizes how healthy it is to eat whole grain breads, there is no nutritional information for any of the recipes-not even fat grams or calories per serving.
* Every bread recipe contains powdered milk or whey powder. Many people don't consume dairy products, yet there's no mention of how to substitute for it or if it's okay to leave it out entirely. (It is.) You can also leave out the liquid lecithin, a sticky ingredient that's hard to get off your hands, without adversely affecting the results.
* Setting and cycle information is provided for over a dozen models of bread machines-all state of the art in 1992 when the book was written. The bread machine operator with a more recent machine should easily be able to figure out the appropriate machine setting for any given bread. But the tally of unneeded pages is now 100, (or 104 if like many bread machine operators you never intend on making bread by hand, so will not need chapter 7).
Despite the cons, I still recommend the book for the great recipes and the comprehensive bread machine and ingredient education.
