review 1: She's convinced me. I knew there was something wrong about all the hype about gluten and paleo and stuff. God told us to eat grain, so we should be able to. Celiac and gluten intolerance should be rare. Steve and I already grind wheat (a lot cheaper than buying flour) with our lovely wheat grinder we got for Christmas and he bakes bread with it. Now we'll get a natural yeast "pet" and make bread that way. I'm interested to see if it'll help with homemade bread going bad like she says. Processed bread has preservatives to make up for what commercial yeast can't do, but that's part of all the benefits of natural yeast.
review 2: Read this book from the beginning. It will answer your questions better that way than If you just skim thru it looking for answers. The
... morehistory of yeast, and why the need to go back to using natural yeast, as well as how yeast works and much more are all explained in easy-to-understand layman's terms. Recipes with detailed instructions follow, including beautiful full-color photos.The printing and layout of the pages are also beautifully well done. My only complaint: the print is so small as to make it hard to read. A lot of information is packed into one or two pages at a time. At times I wished the info was either spread over more pages, or else the pages were a full 8 1/2 by 11. Either one of those options would have allowed for a larger font. I can hardly wait to get started growing my own yeast with the little flakes of yeast that I received when I purchased this book. I love that Melissa tells how to feed and care for your "pet," including giving it a name, in a way that keeps it manageable. I can see already that my first loaf of bread is still a few months away, as I will need time to get my yeast-care habits established, but with her patient encouragement it will be well worth my training. less

This book gives a really nice overview, but is a bit light on recipes.
