( NWITimes.com nwitimes.com 2011-05-11) Judith Fertig is as versatile as cookbook authors can be. As for The Artisan Bread Machine, there are recipes for 1-pound loaves of bread as well as two other sizes. This is good news for me since I have one of the first bread machines that made a pound loaf. Until this cookbook, I thought the machine that makes a pound loaf had been forgotten. The recipes also incorporate the wider range of flours available now. Since we're more sophisticated about our bread preferences, The Artisan Bread Machine meets those needs. Like my popover pan, Fertig's book has motivated me to dust off my bread machine as well! ( The Cookbook Shelf cookbookshelf.wordpress.com 2011-06-06) My conclusion is that this is a great bread machine cookbook if you like to do part whole wheat breads, are interested in making sourdough breads from scratch, or like to make other all white flour breads. The Anadama Bread recipe is a keeper for me. I am looking forward to trying one of the other sourdough recipes. The directions for all of the recipes are very clear and it makes this cookbook very easy to use. Just don't lose your place as to what you've already put in your pan like I did once and had to correct. If you have dough enhancer that you can get at a store nearby, then the 100 percent whole wheat recipes may be feasible for you. They aren't for me at this point, but I liked the other recipes enough to say that I really like this Bread Machine book. If you like using your bread machine at home and are always tempted to buy fancy breads from a bakery, this cookbook would be a blessing. You can try all the breads you've been curious about without having to spend four to six dollars a loaf!

I like this book because it offers a new view of how to use bread machines. along with recipes for in-the-machine baked breads, and "artisanal" breads where you use the machine to make the dough, and then finish the bread in the oven, shaping it and adding different ingredients. There are even recipes for gluten free breads (gluten-free becoming increasingly popular). And none of the recipes are so arduous that you would need hours and hours to finish them. Nothing tops the smell and the taste of just-out-of-the-oven, hot,
