Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Cheese bread

    • Joyceeong on March 17, 2017

      I made this as a Cheese Swirl Bread, the variation given in the book. Bread turns out wonderful, with golden crust and soft crumbs. Makes such a delicious sandwich bread, with slices of ham, fried eggs and lettuce green, and spread with some of our favourite sauce ; mustard, cheesy mayo and chilli sauce. I use the stand mixer to mix the dough and made only one loaf, the perfect size for my small family.

  • Semolina bread

    • Joyceeong on March 17, 2017

      Lovely bread! Crisp crust with soft crumbs. Used the stand mixer to mix the dough and scaled the recipe down to make only one loaf. Turns out quite a large loaf! Great as a club sandwich, with grilled chicken. Yummy!

  • Sourdough olive bread

    • SpatulaClark on May 05, 2020

      Refreshing change from white olive bread, with a deep flavour profile and denser crumb.

  • Zatar herbed rolls

    • mjes on September 13, 2021

      I love zatar as a bread dip so of course, I love it as a roll topping. The herbs in the rolls reinforce the flavors of the topping.

  • Peach muffins with streusel topping

    • twoyolks on September 05, 2015

      The muffins don't have a lot of structure so they were hard to remove in one piece. The muffin texture was also a bit odd. Finally, there really wasn't much peach flavor so the peaches were a bit of a waste.

  • Rich blueberry muffins

    • jaelsne on May 26, 2012

      Everyone loved these muffins. The recipe made eighteen muffins in my older, standard sized muffin tins. They were delicious--as the author said, they were on the sweeter side.

  • Corn muffins

    • ashallen on August 27, 2019

      A fine, basic corn muffin. I made these both as a muffin and as an 8x8-inch square bread - recipe said either should work with the same baking time/temperature. The muffin shape worked well, but the 8x8-inch bread overbrowned on top and had a heavy, somewhat soggy texture.

  • Zucchini bread

    • jaelsne on June 21, 2015

      We love this bread. The recipe is not hard. It can make three loaves, which is a real timesaver. The bread is not very sweet and has a perfect crumb. Definitely a winner!
