This is a great book and I am currently eating bread from this bakery, yummy. However I would consider this an Intermediate+ bread book. If you have skills in baking bread already and want a new challenge, I would recommend.-RG
I have first-hand experience working for David, and just from thumbing through the book I can tell he's imbued his it with the spirit and quality of Easy Tiger baking. I'm especially proud to include this book in my cookbook collection. My lye's been purchased and I can't wait to whip up some Easy Tiger pretzels in my own home just like I used to at the little bakeshop on 6th Street. -Lauren
I've been baking breads for a number of years, many with sourdough starters and/or levains. However, this is a book for both beginners and those with years of experience, if you're new to the world of European breads. The author covers the principles very well, and each recipe has very clear instructions. I haven't yet made any of these breads (I have a trusted rye sourdough bread that I've been using for years) but I'm looking forward to making some of the breads I remember from my youth. -Finding Myself
