[.ca] Bread Machine Gourmet (ISBN 0895296977)

From Amazon.com:
This is the ultimate bread baking book for those on the run who love homemade bread, but who are dependent on bread machines to do the actual work. Simple recipes for both exotic and traditional breads showcase a vast selection that includes breads featuring wheat, rye, rice, fruit, vegetables, chocolate (oh, yes!), cheese, or nuts. Two separate sections cover holiday breads and the "accessories": glazes, dips, and spreads. And, to literally top it off, the book is wrapped in a spill-resistant glossy cover. Don't worry about extra shopping trips; most recipes contain staple ingredients that you can put together in minutes.

just okay:
This book is a mediocre recipe book for bread. They show pictures of breads that were obviously done on the dough cycle and baked in the oven, but they don't give instructions on how to bake your breads in the oven. There are also a lot of hard to find ingredients in the recipes. I searched every health food store in town looking for the ingredients to one of the recipes, without success. I found more useful recipes on the Fleischmann yeast website than I did in this book.

No thank you!:
The recipes that I tried never worked out. The ratios were way off, sometimes leaving a watery mess. The altitude was not a factor, as I have needed no adjustments at 5200 feet.

If you have a bread machine, you should have this book.:
This book has a nice variety of recipes, and they generally work. And that is quite a lot to say if you live at 6,500 feet, and have had bread dough take over your kitchen in the past. My mother really likes the glossary of ingrediants, but she likes strange things. My mother has a particular reason to like the book since she has had raspberry bread dough take over her kitchen in the past. Scary.
