Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Let me start by admitting I'm relatively new to bread making. The few loaves of bread I have made in my life were all made with store-bought yeast. I've recently gotten the itch to learn how to make bread out of a sourdough starter and this book is horrible for a rookie. There is way too much storytelling throughout the book. It's fine to give a backstory for the first chapter but to have the instructions get interrupted with bits of more storytelling gets very annoying. The instructions on how to make these recipes are not well explained and make my brain hurt. There are not very many recipes in this book and some are not even bread recipes. I don't know what the author was trying to go with this. Is this supposed to be a memoir or a cookbook? I'm in the process of trying to get my money back and I got a starter sitting in my kitchen from Carroll Pellegrinelli's book "Starter Sourdough" waaaaaaay easier to understand and has some great looking recipes too. "Artisan Sourdough Made Simple" by Emilie Raffa seems promising.
