You will learn how to literally use temperature and times as ingredients and how these can make bread made with the very same ingredients VERY different. The recipes are for lean dough, non-enriched breads, made straight, with delayed fermentation, and finally as pure sourdough. This book is a fantastic stepping stone for more varied texts (Bread Bible, Bread Baker's Apprentice, and the all but sacred bread text "The Taste of Bread" by Raymond Calvel)."
"But what Ken Forkish has done here is not simply to give you recipes, but to teach you to think with the flexibility that bread baking demands, and to also demand creativity out of you to go past what's in the book. There's a fantastic section on how to make recipes your own, whether it be about flour choices (and the different hydration requirements that some flours require), rearranging schedules to make your bread revolve around your life, the various options you have with levains, how to document your experimentation so that you can reproduce the results the next time."

Best Pie Baking
One of 2016’s. BEST COOKBOOKS. *, THE Pie-Baking Bible. **, an. INSTANT CLASSIC. ***, with raves from NPR, Oprah.com, USA Today, Bon Appetit, Cosmopolitan, Outlander Kitchen, and more. With pioneer spirit she throws the textbook out the window and comes up with absolutely perfect crust filled with fruit that actually sings to you, telling you when it’s ready to be removed from the oven.”. - Ruth Reichl, Former editor of Gourmet, Author of Tender at the Bone and Comfort Me with Apples among other titles. Kate’s recipes are logical and easy to follow, her hints and tricks helpful to even the most experienced pie baker. What really blew our mind was her recipe for a gluten-free nutty no-bake crust that we want to eat with a gooey chocolate filling at the next pie opportunity. More importantly, however, she exudes the passion and joy we all hope to see in our mentors―the obvious reason that her pie camps and workshops regularly sell out. “McDermott, a self-taught baker whose workshops have taught hundreds how to make a proper pie, shares that knowledge in one of the best books written on the topic. Those expecting a quick preamble followed by hundreds of pie recipes will be sorely disappointed―basic instructions take up a third of the book―but readers interested in the hows and whys of pie-making will find McDermott’s tutelage invaluable…McDermott excels, giving readers an informative guide they will be referring to for years to come.”. - Publisher’s Weekly, *STARRED REVIEW*.

Best Gluten Free Recipes
Beloved food blogger and New York Times bestselling author Danielle Walker is back with over 100 new Paleo recipes in her sophomore cookbook, Meals Made Simple —a collection of gluten-free, dairy-free, and Paleo-friendly recipes for easy weeknight meals. With recipes that make cooking for the grain-free family both easy and enjoyable, Meals Made Simple answers the age-old question: “What’s for dinner?” Danielle Walker takes the guesswork out of meal planning with eight weeks’ worth of dinner ideas, complete with full shopping lists and recipes for using up leftovers. Meals Made Simple includes a variety of slow cooker, one-pot, and thirty-minute meals, as well as ways to create entirely new dishes from leftovers. Despite her expansive array of medications and prednisone steroids, Danielle found herself hospitalized numerous times each year, admitted repeatedly for multiple blood transfusions due to morbidly low hemoglobin levels. She began eliminating more food groups including grains, lactose and legumes, following a plan that closely mimicked the Paleo diet. Seeing drastic progress after just 48 hours, Danielle began dedicating her free time to creating delicious comfort foods that could be enjoyed on a restricted diet. Coveting a large, but loyal following on her blog, Danielle expanded beyond the internet and released her first cookbook, Against All Grain: Delectable Paleo Recipes to Eat Well & Feel Great , in July 2013.

Find Best Price at Amazon"Upon first receiving it and glancing through it I was a little disappointed that it seemed sparse and recipes for mayonnaise, cauli-rice and chicken stock stuck out at me. Favorite: Those few reviewers that are unhappy with this book aren't realizing that the real value is in the unbelievable amount of time and work that Ms. Walker put into making 8 weeks of meal plans! No longer do you have to open a can of coconut milk and hope the reminder doesn't go to waste, she accounts for so many of the little details like that. To elaborate, here are the things I love about this book: - meal plan with shopping lists. - indexes! By ingredients, meal type, allergens/dietary preference, time/one-pot/crock-pot and a photo index. - tear-out menu plans and shopping lists. I love that this book is a celebration of her short life and that she lives on in all our hearts and kitchens as we enjoy the fruit of their labor together."
"My eczema disappeared completely, I no longer have to take metformin for my pcos symptoms. I have leaky gut and was getting diarrhea about 3-5 times a day prier to this diet. I even started a fb group where I post pictures of each meal I make from this book."
"In her new book, Against All Grain: Meals Made Simple, she has added even more mouthwatering delights for the Paleo chef. Danielle was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease at twenty-two, and she spent years in and out of hospitals and taking some heavy-duty prescriptions for her condition until she’d had enough. Now we have book two, lavishly photographed by Danielle herself and filled with tasty recipes your family will love. Danielle shows how to protect the budget by purchasing larger cuts of meat, the whole bird instead of parts and by buying in bulk. A bit like a frittata, it contains yellow onions, white sweet potatoes, bacon, bell peppers and eggs. I made the barbecue sauce (p. 250) to serve with burgers and Danielle’s cashew flour buns from her first book. My all-time favorite dessert is Lemon Sponge, a British treat that’s bursting with lemony goodness, but loaded with sugar."
"Great healthy recipes!"
"I love that there are meal plans in the back of the book as well."
"Purchased for my daughter in law."
"Beautiful pictures and great recipes."
