This is an ok book. The recipies are accompanied by a story about the loaf, which is nice. The recipies all use either a levain - so early preparation is required, and not always possible - or they use fresh yeast. I can't get fresh yeast. It seems that I have a book that isn't much use to me. Disappointed as all other Dan Lepard recipes I used before work really well.
