Summary: Bread baking
Comment: As a bread baker I was so impressed with these new ideas in this book and I recommended it to my daughters.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Quick AND Tasty!
Comment: I too was skeptical at first. What, no kneading? What, I can mix this up on Saturday, stick it in the frig, and bake it on Tuesday? That's exactly what I did, and the two loaves I made turned out GREAT! The flavor and texture were very yummy. A few things I did differently from the directions: I have a well-used baking stone (Pampered Chef) that I did NOT preheat or coat with cornmeal or flour, I just formed the dough into rounds and set it on the stone. Preheated as directed, put the stone in the oven. Instead of putting water in a boiler tray I just dropped a handful of ice cubes in the bottom of the oven.

Summary: Capitalizing on the craze brought to the masses by the NYT?
Comment: Sounds like nothing more than variations of the wonderful "No-Knead Bread" that was featured in the New York Times back in Nov 2006 (from the Sullivan Street Bakery in NYC) and was all over the internet in a flash. No harm to capitalize on an "internet sensation" and write a book I suppose, just know that this is not revolutionary on the author's part, rather it is derivative. Furthermore, if you do some Google searches you can eaily find recipes that tweak the basic "no-knead bread" recipe (i.e., ones that experiment with different flours, different "add-ons" like olives, nuts, etc). In sum, the variety is endless, but what you are paying here is a packaged version of recipes and techniques that one can get for free on the internet, in probably the same amount of clicks (or less)that it takes to order this book on Amazon. Just a tip, nothing more, nothing less.
