I originally got this book because I love to bake and there's nothing like homemade bread. But I have to say that I was surprised at the variety of breads included. Not only are there breads such as those the author mentioned, but I was intrigued by recipes for Beignets (which I love); scones, buns, and even calzones.
There is a listing of bread basics that everyone should have if they're starting out baking, and this is explained in detail. The only thing I would have liked is to have seen pictures of every recipe, but the ones included are very nice.
There is a plethora of Ethic breads, but many of them sound quite appetizing and I'm going to sample the Chipa, Babka, and even the Challah (another of my favorites). There are breads that are easy to make, and then there are those that take skill and have a lot of ingredients. I will say that there are breads for all skill levels, and if you love to bake and love the scent of fresh bread in your home, then this is the cookbook for you.
