Summary: She still cooks!
Review: I believe I saw part of this book, in condensed form in the grocery store. I bought a copy of it, went home and devoured it. I did not try any of the receipes. Then a friend said she had bought a bread machine, but was getting dismal results, so I very reluctantly handed it to her, wondering if I would ever see the contents again. I recognize the names of the receipes. This has to be an expanded version of that. I'm glad to see it has been given long life! As I read this book, the thing that is the most helpful, irrespective of the recipes, which are varied, is the tips they give for solving problems. There are many receipes, but how to solve technical problems with the machines are much harder to find. I would trust betty before I would trust anybody else. I grew up on the last cookbook the editors did that was not available in hardback and paper. I have many fancy cookbooks, but betty is the one tht taught me process out of one book-and very sparsely phtographed at that!

Summary: very good
Review: I bought this book when I bought my bread machine. I really love the variety of recipes in this book. I have tried two recipes already that are really very easy to make and easy to follow. I also like the feature that it has a spiral binding and lies flat!

Summary: Not So Tasty
Review: I have tried a half dozen recipes from this book so far and I've liked only one of them (Sally Lunn). The pictures are beautiful, the spiral binding is great but the recipes I've tried are mediocre. Maybe it's just me or my machine (Breadman), but recipes from my other cookbooks tend to taste better.

Summary: Got from Library - Have to Own
Review: I made one loaf the day I got the book from the library. Haven't tasted it yet but on the contents and photos alone I have deceided I have to have this book and am ordering it now. I already have 5 or 6 Bread machine cookbooks but this seems to be the best by far and I know it will become the one I use most often.

Summary: Bread making made easy
Review: I often use this book when I want to have fresh bread but don't have the patience to make it by hand. It has everything from a classic white bread to coffee cakes and pizza.Overall I would have liked to see a bit more photos (not all recipes had a corresponding photo although most did) but was very happy with the book in general. In the introduction there is a detailed "possible problem" list that contains common mistakes, what they look like, and how to avoid making them. Each recipe was very simple to understand and read, having numerous success tips (every recipe was tested before being included in the book)and nutritional information. Some of the recipes that I tried were: Mediterranean Herbed Bread, Sally Lunn, Sweet Orange Bread with Orange Glaze, Two-Cheese Pizza, and several kings of Dinner Rolls. Overall probably the best bread machine currently on the market due to its attention to detail and quantity of recipes that really work.

Summary: Great book for the beginner OR advanced!
Review: I'd give this book 6 stars if I could. Theres not a boring loaf in the book. it has lots of recipes for making all kinds of loaves in your bread machine (Fiery Four pepper, carmelized onlion, chocolate walnut!). Theres even a recipe for bread machine Panettone! Plus there are recipes where only the dough functions are used so you can shape the dough and achieve more "artisan" type breads. There are recipes for muffins and coffee cakes, buns, and cinnamon rolls. Really a fantastic reference. I got the spiral bound version since its easier to use while baking. I think I will get a lot of use out of this book!

Summary: Great book
Review: I've tried over 2 dozen recipes from this book and they all turn out great. I use the Oster Expressbake and especially like the chapter for smaller, 1 pound recipes. I occasionally have to add a bit of water or a pinch of flour in the initial mixing phase, but think that it depends on the humidity here (North Carolina). Overall, I've been happy with every recipe I've tried from this book.
