    • I know you have plenty of cookbooks, but seriously, get the book!
Format: Paperback
This book is great! It has a lot of good information in the front, and the recipes are spot on. I had a solid bread recipe that I've used for years, but the main bread recipe in this book is even better. The chocolate chip cookies are fabulous and you can't even tell they're whole wheat (I'm sure it matters that I used a Wondermill, too). I was originally hesitant to order yet ANOTHER cookbook, but I'm so glad I did. ... show more

    • Must have for fresh milled or gluten free bakers!!
Format: Paperback
I absolutely love this book! Sue is a wonderful teacher whhho really goes into how and why ingredients work, and makes you understand the chemistry of baking. Because let's face it, cooking is one thing, but baking is another. Once you add in things like fresh milled flour and gluten free, you're at a whole other level! And Sue Becker does a magnificent job at teaching this, and giving fantastic recipes! This recipe book is truly for the person wants to not only bake with fresh milled ingredients, but wants to understand how and why they work together. By knowing this, you can make substitutions that will actually work and not tank your recipe! Or make it taste like its meant for the dumpster, because let's face it, not even the dog will eat it! Lol Her style of writing is very easy to understand, and there are photos as well. The book itself it thick, and packed full of information. I highly recommend this if you're learning to bake with fresh milled ingredient or gluten free! Great purchase! ... show more

    • Spring for the Spiral Bound Version
Format: Paperback
This book is a solid 4.5 stars. Being a vegan family, I've found the recipes easy to adapt and so far we've had great success with everything we've tried. The basic yeast bread has become a staple in our house (my son says it tastes like darker bread you get in the basket at the Cheesecake Factory and he's 100% correct). I have the same issue many others have. The book tells you how to substitute home ground flours for all purpose flour, for instance, and says that if you're using a recipe with weights, you just use the same weight of grain. It's a super handy tip and makes me wish with all of my heart that bakers in the US used weights more. It's so much easier to get a consistently good product. So where are the weights in these recipes? We're left to guess how much grain to grind and I'm still getting it wrong. I've thrown flour away because you're not supposed to store it, but then you don't really get any help with knowing how much whole grain to throw in your grinder to hit the flour amount required for each recipe. I've started freezing my extra flour, a tip I picked up from a YouTuber, and I'll use it as my dusting flour when I'm making future recipes. But still... I feel like the recipes are seriously missing the mark by not including weights. I get that there still may be a range needed for the recipe, so let the range be "100g-120g hard red wheat milled into fine flour, about this many cups" so that you have a starting point. I assume this knowledge comes with experience and may not be an issue in the future. But like I said, the recipes are amazing so far and I've enjoyed working with the home milled flour. The first section of the book (123 pages out of about 267 of actual content) is invaluable for anyone (like me) who never really worked with home ground flour before. It's a textbook on the subject and very well thoroughly done. Even the recipe section is full of more tips and tricks for almost every recipe: substitutions, storage advice, different grains to use, etc. You really do get the impression that you're reading something written by a master with decades of experience in her craft, probably because that is exactly what this book is. Really, I'm only docking .5 stars for the lack of weights in the recipes, but it's such a small complaint in the overall awesomeness of the book that I can't physically dock a star in the review. You may like to spring for the spiral bound version as this book doesn't lay flat at all. Most books don't lay flat, but this one seems to think it is its destiny to close while you're making a recipe, no matter what methods you use to keep it open. My hope is for future printings to have a spiral bound version contained within a hard cover. I can't imagine how expensive that would be to produce, but I'd seriously shell out an extra $20 for this imaginary version of the book. I'm not just saying that, either. ... show more

    • EXCELLENT! Get the “Spiral” Version!
Format: Spiral-bound
Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Get the spiral version! This book is chock full of details and info; I can’t believe I hesitated to order it. Extremely well written, well formatted too for ease in reading. If you’re new to grain milling like I am, this is exactly what you need. Great basic recipes and so far I’ve tried 4 recipes and they are all excellent. The Fruit and Nut loaf which resembles a fruitcake is amazing—even my 18 yr old son who is super picky thought it was delicious. My other son really loved the Date and Orange coffee cake and keeps asking me ‘when am I gonna make the coffee cake again??’ I wasn’t sure if I wanted to splurge for the spiral version but I have to say it was totally worth the extra money—the book lays flat and it is a huge plus to have that. Even though this book is older, I noticed all the nutritional references and comments as far as oils to use, are completely accurate for today. Sue Becker was way ahead of her time and she apparently continues to be the leading voice on home grain milling. I am very glad I purchased this book and would only wish Sue would release a sequel baking book! That would be amazing 🤩 ... show more

    • Great book poor shipping
Format: Spiral-bound
Review Image by Patrick Parker
The book is well laid out and thoughtfully written. It’s filled with valuable information as well. It arrived a day late, bent corners, wet and has buckling. The front cover had been dried off and the packaging was dry. The bent corners are probably due to it being shipped in an unpadded brown envelope. Wrapping in a single sheet of bubble wrap would have prevented the bent pages. Although the book is great I took off one star due to the condition it arrived. ... show more
