Summary: Excellent resource and cookbook
Review: I love this book and I use a couple of the recipes all the time. I especially like his method of using batter "A" and batter "B". It's wonderful because I never waste any of my starter in order to feed it. The batter bread is my favorite. With my particular starter strain, the bread comes out about the same consistency as a regular dough bread. It's delicious. The recipes are amazingly easy and delicious. I highly recommend this book to people who are learning about sourdough. It's the only book you'll ever need.

Summary: Excellent resource and cookbook
Review: I'm a beginner to bread baking and for whatever reason, decided to try sourdough. This book has been perfect for me as a beginner. The first part of the book, clearly outlines the chemistry involved in bread baking and getting a starter going. It then details the various steps in making the "primary batter" as well as bread baking, even outlining how to knead dough for french bread. This is such a great reference for anyone at a beginner level and the recipes are easy to follow and produce a great end result (although some may be a bit odd; Cranberry Sourdough Bread wasn't quite up to par). I highly recommend this book if you're trying to learn about sourdough baking.

Summary: Glad this book is back in print!
Review: I've been using this book for ten years and keep finding great recipes in it. Helen's Sourdough Sour Cream Waffles, Sourdough French Bread, Helen's Sourdough Biscuits and Sourdough Cranberry Bread are my all time favorites from the book.

Summary: Of All My Sourdough Books, This One is Used Most Often
Review: OK, so I'm a sourdough baking freak. I have a dozen or so books on the topic, and this book is by far the most useful and the most used. I got mine in a kit bought 15+ years ago in San Francisco, along with a long-departed starter and a crock. I will need to buy another, soon, as with the other reviewer, my copy is WAY beyond worn out. The recipe for Sourdough White Bread 1 is worth the price of the book alone. I'm glad to see this book is back in print, as I have been looking to replace my copy for some time.
