Beautiful rustic book

Recensito in Italia il 1 luglio 2020

This is a really beautiful book in terms of its appearance and something that I love to see on my bookshelf! The content is priceless, really valuable. It helped me to understand sourdough and how it all works and it has great formulae for various types of bread. I find, practically, that I tend to use the same formula all the time so you'd want to be more exciting than me to get the most out of this book...

confusionale

Recensito in Italia il 7 maggio 2020

Il libro ha bisogno di essere pesantemente editato. nonostante 30 anni come homebaker e una laurea in ingegneria faccio ratica a seguire le istruzioni, ovviamente perché sono contrastanti tra loro. dopo un paragrafo che spiega una cosa, il prossimo dice l'esatto contrario. gli do ancora un paio di giorni di rilettura, se non riesco a chiarire i concetti faccio il reso, nonostante l'evidente expertise dell'autrice del libro.

Not for beginners..............

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 23 aprile 2022

Acquisto verificato

The author clearly has a passion for making sourdough bread and also has a sound scientific understanding of the processes involved.

The question for beginners is just how much knowledge do they need in order to start their sourdough journey?

This book bombards the reader with complexity and information overload from the very beginning. I wouldn't mind if the information given was consistent but sometimes it isn't.

For example, the author describes the benefits of a two stage "autolysis" process; stage one with just flour and water; stage two with the addition of the leaven. In the next breath she says "Why do we tend to autolyse with leaven at the school? Mainly because I have seen no visible difference between autolysing before and after adding leaven."

Why complicate matters by repeatedly mentioning a process which the author states they don't actually use!

The layout of the book is a nightmare and might be justly considered "half baked." Sorry, I'll get my coat......

The beginning of the book details the major processes involved in breadmaking but the part of the book that has the actual bread recipes doesn't have much more in it other than the weights of the ingredients. To actually produce a loaf of bread the reader has to constantly flick backwards and forwards in the book. This is very frustrating and increases the likelyhood of a beginner making a critical mistake.

The book is beautiful to look at but I would not recommend it for bakers just starting their sourdough journey.

I note that the author has released another sourdough book "10-Minute Sourdough: Breadmaking for Real Life." I haven't read this book yet but perhaps it was written with a view to correcting some of the obvious issues for beginners with the earlier work.

I enjoyed certain aspects of this book, particularly the authors personal relationship with sourdough. As a useful tool for reliably producing bread it left me a little flat. Perhaps as flat as some of my loaves.........

Incredibly confusing

I bought this book 2 or 3 months ago and have found myself re-reading it over and over again to try and get out bits of information which should be simple. The layout and information provided in the book are incredibly confusing and contradictory. It has a lot of information in but feels like it has been written by someone who has a lot of knowledge but an inability to put it down on paper in a clear, easy to understand way. I also know of someone who sent this book back, I wish I had instead of attempting to persevere with it. I would not recommend.

Disappointed

There are so many good reviews about this book but frankly I found it rather full of faff. I feel it makes sourdough sound ridiculously complicated and whilst I accept that a true aficionado might want to be obsessive about every little detail, you can make a really good, tasty sourdough loaf by putting starter in with flour, water, salt and whatever else you choose, knead, leave overnight, knock back, leave to rise again, bake and voila, one tasty loaf without a lot of fuss.

Let's wait for a second edition!

I've been baking sourdough bread at home for years and really looked forward to receiving this book.

Vanessa clearly has knowledge and experience. But after owning this for some time I have concluded that unfortunately the book is not the useful addition to current literature that it appears to be, and in practice has many shortcomings.

There are too many mistakes and a lot of waffle, so I find myself reading and re-reading sentences to make sense of them before giving up. Often the phrase 'it is all about getting to know your dough' seems to be an excuse for not presenting information in a systematic way.

I can't help being irritated by nonsense like 'gluten is a series of elastic air pocket' or the sentences like 'when you first mix the dough it looks as though there is not enough water, but after half an hour or so the flour will have had a chance to absorb the extra water'.

An experienced baker may find some stimulating ideas here, but for solutions better to look elsewhere - or possibly attend one of the authors courses!

Great cover, but goes moderately downhill thereafter

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 10 maggio 2022

Acquisto verificato

I hate writing anything other than "this is a must-read" about a book. After all, authors put so much into writing them. And this book so much "looks the part" when you see its cover. Venture inside, however, and things quickly become complicated, confusing even. I am still not quite sure where things stand when it comes to creating your starter and feeding it, and I must have read the relevant sections at least half a dozen times. I have learnt about autolysing (mixing salt in water before adding it), to be fair. A specific low point (for me) was the bit about having apparently to know the farmer who made your wheat personally, so that you can be most sure of its quality.

In the end, then, this is one of those unfortunate books where it seems more about the author telling you how complicated everything is as opposed to the author helping you to do things for yourself.

Still a great cover, though.

This book is not for a beginner

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 1 febbraio 2021

This book is confusing for me as a novice in the art of bread baking. I got completely confused between starter, refreshed starter and leaven. I cooked after the ambient method as recommended by the book but the bread didn't turn out very good, the steps are very confusing too follow, e.g. it is not clear for how long should I stretch and fold the dough. The information is spread around the book so for making the starter you need to look up 3 places in the book. I wish it was more clear about the steps and length. There are some really valuable information about the benefit of sourdough and some lovely photos.

Very hard to follow. Set me back a year. Lovely to look at, though.

This book looks and feels great even though it has some dodgy editing.

The reason for only one star is that it is intensely confusing and actually made it so hard to make my first loaf that I gave up, I ditched the starter I had been given after six months of refreshing it and decided sourdough wasn't for me. I hadn't realised until speaking to a friend recently that it was the book that had been the problem. I've now found a really simple recipe online that has undone the damage this book did.

Interesting but not a recipe book

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 3 aprile 2021

Acquisto verificato

If you want to know more about sourdough and how it works this is a great book, if you want to make a loaf of sourdough I wouldn’t recommend it. This is such a confusing book. It’s tells you to read through first then start but I was none the wiser and I’ve actually made sourdough quite a few times before! There’s a lot of “I sometimes do this, other times do this” but no tips on when either one would be successful or how to do it. To actually make a loaf of bread you have to constantly move between 3 different parts of the book, so at the very least it needs bookmarks. I really lost patience with it I’m afraid and went back to Richard Caddick’s advice on BBC which I wholeheartedly recommend.

I hate this book.

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 7 marzo 2019

Acquisto verificato

The more In use this book the more I hate it. I wish I'd returned it while I still could. It so over complicated it's ridiculous.
The explanations are poor and contradictory, then, when you want to actually make some bread you have to flick between multiple pages: the formula (recipe), the schedule and seven pages of explanations of the stages of the schedule.
I'll be listing it on eBay soon. Better info on YouTube.

Did the editor sleep?

I was looking forward to reading a systematic introduction to sourdough, as most of my knowledge comes from watching YouTube videos and experimenting. What an utter disappointment this book is in that regard. Advice is poorly organised, often conflicting. Acronyms are used before the full terminology (GI is one such example). The author is also confused over the level
of knowledge amongst her readers. Sometimes she describes almost banale things in detail, but to understand the section on sourdough itself you better have a PhD in Biology. An immensely frustrating book. A plus: the recipes look good and diverse.
