Home Baking: The Artful Mix of Flour and Traditions from Around the World

The book is in good condition. I didn't like the book very much. It is mostly stories about people. It doesn't have many recipes in the book. If you like reading about people, then buy the book. If you are looking for recipes, then forget it.

One if my favorite baking books. A go-to gift for baker friends.

I recently purchased Home Baking by Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid for a second time. I love this book. Unfortunately, the binding is especially fragile. I bought the book a number of years ago and the binding almost immediately ripped. I am so disappointed that this is a real problem with the binding of the book and not simply my handling of it, but far worse than a poor binding, I am missing pages and I have repeat pages. Beginning with page 237, everything is fine through page 284. After pages 284 the book repeats pages 237 (and all the content from these pages) through pages 252 before skipping ahead to page 301 and continuing on. What happened?5 stars for content2 stars for binding1 star for mispagination

I have ALL their books! Anything written by either the former couple (Alford/Diugud), or by either one of the two is well worth the investment. Excellent writing, very informative, and you feel as if you've actually been on a visit to where ever they're traveling to.

This is one of my favorite cookbooks to page through. I love the pictures, I love the stories, and everything I've made from it has been delicious.

Not as good as I expected from Alford

I'm sad to see this is no longer available from amazon. I just love this book. I refer to it for old favorites and when I want inspiration to tra something different. It brought baking with fresh yeast back into my cooking routine.

intetesting recipes plus beautiful pictures

This is a fantastic book for anyone that enjoys making bread from scratch, and wants to extend their repertoire to other breads of the world. I have made at least 30 of the recipes in this book and all have been a success. Himalayen roti, crepes, you name it. Even the simple things like banana bread were extra special with the touch of rum and granula sugar on top (a new staple in our home). And of course there are the standards loafs of bread (whole wheat, almond milk, oatbran) which are also staples in our home, thanks to this book. Most recipes include a short intro about the history of the recipe, which we find thoroughly enjoyable. The book is such a favourite in our home that we have purchased an extra copy for our child for when they move out and create their own household staples. Added bonus: the authors are Canadian. Thoroughly recommended.

already have their book on flatbreads ,this one is very good ,too
