    Excellent book on making sourdough bread
  

*by E***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 December 2018*

I  strongly disagree with some of the  negative reviews of the book. I bought it when it was first published and have bought numerous copies as gifts for friends.  Three of my friends were really struggling to make good sourdough bread I gave them some of "Vaneesa's starter, a recipe and methods of how to make the dough. They are all delighted and making good bread. I know some people don't like the layout of the book however I wholeheartly disagree. I have yet to see another book that goes into such depth.It is broken down into a very well thought out layout.  Firstly Vanessa explains what sourdough culture is in detail that is written so home bakers can understand the information. Secondly all ingredients are explained. There is really good information about starter and levain management.  I was struggling to understand about how to manage the starter however Vanessa explains it simply and its easy to understand. It's made a Hugh difference to my sourdough bread.Thirdly Vanessa goes into great detail about the process of making the leavain and dough and the importance of desired dough temperature. The processes are accompanied by beautiful photographs Vanessa suggests planning a schedule to make your bread and keep a  loaf record. There is a fantastic selection of different recipes starting at a basic loaf and building on it as your skills improve e.g. cheese and jalapeno, wild garlic boules ( great in spring time ),chocolate and hazelnut bread, beetroot and feta to name but a few.  There is specific advice accompaning each recipe pertaining to the particular bread you are making  Lastly there is a great discussion about digestibility and nutrition of the bread you make. Vanessa is inspirational enthusiastic and so knowledgeable. I have lots of bread books and there is no other book that goes into such detail. Its certainly a holistic approach to making sourdough bread.

    An excellent book
  

*by C***P on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 November 2018*

If you are seriously interested in learning how to make good sourdough then this is a book for you. I’m a relative newcomer to making sourdough and until recently I based my bakes around information from a couple of books penned by celebrity bakers (who I wont name) who I felt would know best. The results that I got were mediocre, but at the same time better than my earliest attempts.Vanessa Kimbell’s book has changed all of that. It made me realise that making sourdough isn’t just an art, but also a science. She includes a lot of information that I found useful on flours, starters, leaven, nutrition etc as well as taking you through the process of producing sourdough bread. There are also recipes.I see some reviews have been critical of the book saying its complicated and not easy to follow. I have to disagree - if you follow the advice on the page entitled ‘How to use this book’, then its not complicated at all.Having read the book, I went back to basics and adopted Kimbell’s techniques. The resulting sourdough has been the best I’ve ever made.So - if you’re simply looking for a book of sourdough recipes then maybe this book isn’t for you. There are plenty of alternatives out there. However, if you’re looking to learn technique and understand the science behind making good sourdough, then this is the book will not disappoint.

    Excellent, once you've got to grips with the layout!
  

*by E***. on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 May 2020*

I bought this book as a beginner. At first I found it very confusing and had to keep flicking back between the master method and recipes, with dough splattered hands. Now I've got to grips with the techniques & I've been using the book for several months, my bread is turning out really well. All the information & advice is there, the layout just needs updating & perhaps use  a new editorial team, to make it all less confusing for beginners and remove the odd bits of conflicting information in the book. Having said all that, I love all the recipes & the science & now I understand it better, it's my 'go to' book for sourdough.
