For all of you who are intimidated by yeast, for whom the mere thought of baking a loaf of bread without the aid of a breadmachine or trained baker gives you palpitations, here is a book for you.

Bread Maven Suzanne Dunaway has taken the fear out of our hands on bread baking by providing formulas with the option of taking only 90 minutes to prepare. Bread baking, a tactile therapy is one to be enjoyed by all and No Need to Knead takes out the misery it has so long been associated with. Not only does this book contain bread recipes and full explanations, but what to do with the bread, what to serve with the bread and even a children's section.

Those on a low carbohydrate diet, beware! You will not be for long as her words have the capacity to pull you into her kitchen fragrant with the scent of baking breads. Her illustrations bring you into the simple joy that is her style. Suzanne takes time to gently explain ingredients, equipment and the technique used for making artisan breads from her bakeshop.

This is an inviting book for the amateur and professional alike. With formulas from Pizza to Bread Soufflé, you may never use your breadmachine again!
