Review title: Disappointment for Sourdough Lovers
Product review: When I read James Beard's introduction to his very short chapter on sourdough breads, I wished I had not bought this book. He writes that in his opinion sourdough bread "is much overrated and is difficult to perfect at home" and that he is "not sure it is worth the trouble". I profoundly disagree. Preparing sourdough is neither too difficult nor too much trouble, and a good sourdough bread such as a French country loave or a German Bauernbrot cannot be overrated! To make things worse the author suggests in his recipe the use of commercial yeast to make the starter, a procedure which most experienced home bakers advise you against. If on the other hand you want some good basic white breads or whole grain breads, you will find interesting and easy to follow recipes. But if your goal is to work on your sourdough techniques - turn to other authors!
