With so many sourdough books available, I was looking for something different and I found it!

I am so pleased I have discovered Bryan Ford and this book. With a Hunduran background, there's a lovely twist in many of the recipes. I can't wait to try the choco pan de coco and the coffee bread. Bryan's recipes are clear and very easy to follow. His comments at the start of each recipe are often amusing and ones you can definitely relate to.

Definitely a book for sourdough lovers who want to extend their repertoire.

I loved this family oriented book all about sourdough from the humble beginning with starters, to the fancy looking breads that have a great family story that goes along with the entries. One of my big things is pictures, and I love that this has plenty of photos and one with each recipe presented. That is important to me especially since bread like sourdough would be a completely new thing for me, and I would need a good guide and reference. The pictures are absolutely stunning, and make you want to smell the breads baking in your oven as soon as possible. There is a great variety of sweet and savory breads. Who knew you could do so much with sourdough? I cannot wait to buy this in hardback for my own personal library, and I know my patrons will love it as well. Thank you to the talented author, publisher, and Netgalley for allowing me to read the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I am an avid follower of Bryan Ford’s blog and a fan of his @artisanbryan Instagram page, and I was very excited to get a copy of his book. I am an amateur baker who has not really experimented very much, but have been looking for a book to help me branch out and experiment. This is the book! The recipes are wide ranging, well written and easy to follow. I am really excited to try all of. these recipes. They will definitely take me out of my comfort zone. I have already begun my first loaf and it’s looking great. Bryan’s writing is interesting and the back stories for the recipes give you a real insight into his life story. Highly recommended! Thanks to Quarto publishing group-Quarry and #netgalley for an arc of this book.

Now this my friends is a cookbook worth buying and I have a lot of cookbooks. Now if you have ever read a cookbook review of mine I have always stated I am not a good cook but I love reading cookbooks and I try and fail spectacularly. I am 99.9% fail to .9% nailed it. However, this is a lovely cookbook. The layout is my favorite. First an introduction. He was born in the Bronx then moved to New Orleans. His family is from Honduras. He then gives an equipment then an ingredients list. He explains what each item is for. His tone is friendly and warm. He then gets to the heart of the matter which is how to make the starter. The instructions are clear and concise. The only thing that might trip up readers is that he uses grams for measurements something Americans aren't used to. So get a good scale and welcome to the metric system. After 5 days or so you have a starter and the fun begins. Let's make bread! The book has great color photos and the instructions are clear no guesswork. There are a variety of about 35 different breads to make here. One interesting point, the author uses a small amount of spelt flour in his bread for digestibility and flavor. Nice! Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this book in exchange for a review.

This is an incredible resource full of mouthwatering recipes and photographs. I can't wait to try the recipes out! I highly recommend this cookbook to anyone wanting to learn more about sourdough.

I loved every single bit of this book! I'll be buying a hard copy as soon as it comes out. I searched for a very long time to find a sourdough cookbook that actually taught me how to make bread - I wish this had been out two years ago when I started trying! I love his reassurance that bread baking should be fun and creative, and that some if it is just figuring out what works for you. There's no wrong way to bake good bread. The recipes are varied, and mostly easy, and I know it's going to become my newest favorite cookbook.

Omg this books is so perfect, I can’t wait for baked all the bread, thank you so much for this ARC. I REALLY LOVE IT

Gives a lot of really great information. This is a book detailed enough that would allow beginning sourdough bread makers great bread. Also has some great sounding recipes.

Started my own sourdough starter and felt successful doing it based on instructions in this book. Beautiful pictures, lots of ways to use my starter! Will be buying!

Absolutely gorgeous, this book is a masterpiece of baking knowledge with a Latin flair.

The photos and step-by-step directions are clear and precise. I love that he uses grams and weights. Any baker from novice to expert would be able to use this book to bake beautiful, delicious breads.

From traditional Rustic sourdoughs to sweet and specialty breads, this book covers everything!

This would make a wonderful gift for any baker!

I am an expert home baker and I received a free ARC as a reviewer for NetGalley.

I love breads. Especially sourdough bread. This book was a delight to read. You basically learn everything here from how to make a starter to how to use it in recipes. How to make the simpler versions and those that professional bakers do.
I would honestly say... I like this book so much, that if I baked daily - I would not be able to fit in the door! It is a big plus that this book is available on Kindle.

Amazing sourdough book. I loved the recipes and would highly recommend to anyone interested in sourdough.

This book was timed perfectly for me! Yes, I'm another person trying to make sourdough/sourdough starter while in confinement. The pictures are gorgeous and the instructions are easy to follow. I was pleasantly surprised to see various recipes for different kinds of breads. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this book. And thank you to author for writing it.

What a beautiful book. The pictures of the different breads make you drool. The instructions for making the starter are very concise and easy to understand. That being said since I am a beginner bread baker, I don't think that sourdough will be the first bread that I make. But after I build up the skills I would like to try these recipes.

I've been meaning to try my hand at baking sourdough bread but after viewing and reading so many recipes and video tutorials, I get so confused! I'm confused no more with Bryan Ford's New World Sourdough recipe book. I appreciate the in-depth explanation and especially the step-by-step guide. Let me say that this recipe book is a must for newbies as well as those who are an old-hand at baking breads. With all of us being safe at home, why not try your hand at baking your own bread?

What a beautifully photographed book! These recipes look delicious especially the banana foster loaf and the seeded sour. Some nice alternatives to use that starter in something other than plain bread. Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC!

Since the lockdown, I have more time to experiment with my sourdough starter. I am a newbie in the sourdough world. Before I gained my interest in sourdough, I have read a book about sourdough before, and the book I read was explaining how the sourdough works. Bryan's cookbook is the 2nd book I read about sourdough. This book is divided into 2 parts, the techniques and the recipes. The techniques are explained briefly yet clear enough to understand (perhaps because I have already baked things with the sourdough starter before). If you are want to a quick shortcut to the sourdough world, you may want to read his book. Because his book is light and covers many kinds of simple recipes. I like chapter 3, it has various sweet recipes with sourdough, which I was looking for. And I am going to try out.

Photos - 4/5 stars this book contains beautiful photos for each recipe. They do look delicious. I could have used some more photos for building the starter.
Ease of ingredients - 4/5 stars. Most ingredients could be found at an average store.
Variety - 5/5 There is a huge variety of breads in here.

This book was really nice. I didn’t know all of the bread items you could make with a sourdough starter. I would recommend for anyone wanting to try to make their own breads.
