Hi everyone,
I hope you're all well. Now, I know most of you have their own bread baking book libraries and family recipes. However, through a rather strange chain of events when someone made the mistake of asking my opinion re: "The bread making books that
I find most useful".... well, a lot of stuff happened.
So I did what any hobbyist bread baker would do, I wrote a few thoughts/opinions on the ones I had. That seems simple enough, right? However, I figured that would only help a couple of people, so I started posting my reviews on online booksellers. Unbeknownst to me, they had a competition for "best reviews of the month" and apparently I generated
quite a bit of traffic. I had no idea until I got this in my inbox:
Congratulations harmo, 142,136 people have read your reviews! In addition, 156 people liked your reviews. Well done!
So I found myself the winner of
three hefty book vouchers, so I did the next logical step.... buy more bread books... usually the ones that were well regarded but I simply couldn't get from the library anytime in the next 6-10 months.
Well anyway, things..
kinda snowballed from there....
So can I humbly share my list of reviewed books with you? I've put this much effort in, and I thought "Hey, someone out there might find it useful, right?"
Fair warning though... I may have gone a
little more in-depth than some of the other reviews you might have read. Please feel free to get a snack, a tasty beverage, put some nice music on and just casually browse around!
If you or someone you know might be interested, please feel free to share this link. It's just my personal site and I make no money whatsoever on it.

I hope this helps someone out there!
