Great book and perfect for beginners on their sourdough journey! Great information and will help you understand the "science" of sourdough baking.

The recipes are cool ideas, but they are not written so well and for someone who isn't experienced in sourdough bread making a little disappointing. The only measurement given is grams, this is for liquids such as water and melted butter as well so its difficult to measure liquids without some messing about. I found that all of the recipes I tried I had to bake for much longer than the recipe stated. Fabulous pictures which inspire me to keep trying so that I can create some of the beautiful breads in this book.

I really enjoyed reading this book. Not all the recipes worked for me, and I feel there are some errors in the measurements.

I loved this book! It is such a beautiful book and you really learn a lot about sourdough and bread making. It almost feels like a textbook for sourdough (in a good way). I love a cookbook that isn't just a cookbook of recipes, but one in which you learn so much from it.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested learning everything about sourdough!

I'm an avid baker and baking with sourdough isn't new to me. I've been using my trusty sourdough starter for many years. Despite that, I was enthralled with Ford's fresh take on an old subject, and eagerly dove into it in the hopes of learning something new. I was not disappointed, and I don't think many bakers, new or old, would be; Ford delivers his recipes, his story, and his heritage in such a friendly, easy-to-follow format. The best, for me, was seeing his riffs on classic New Orleans and Honduran specialties, like his absolutely brilliant and delicious pan de coco. For me, and according to Ford's mission statement, it cracked the world of bread wide open to cross borders and racial lines. It's intersectional, diverse baking, and a necessary addition to the home cookbook collection.

This cookbook is absolutely stunning. A little intimidating at first, especially if you have never made sourdough. However, the author really breaks it down into easy to understand techniques and recipes. This would make an excellent holiday gift for a friend or family member interested in diving into the world of sourdough.

Making sourdough times time and patience. It can often feel antidating but this book breaks it down and encourages you to try. The photos are amazing and the directions are clear. I also loved each of the unique stories.

This book is full of delicious information for those wanting to take their sourdough skills to a new level. The pictures are enticing, the directions are straightforward, and the stories behind each bread are heartwarming.

This book is fabulous for someone who already knows a little bit about baking. It might not be the best for an absolute novice. Bryan Ford comes from Honduras by way of New Orleans, and he brings many different elements together for his many sourdough recipes. I had no idea you could make so many things with sourdough. The book starts out with how to make the starter, then gets into the various techniques. Beautiful photos as well.

Thanks to the publishers and NetGalley for a digital ARC for the purpose of an unbiased review.

Prefect timing, perfect book!

Our family recently started making sourdough so I was excited to get an ARC from NetGalley! Not only is this a great book but I started following Artisan Bryan on Instagram.

With easy to follow directions, Bryan Ford offers a diverse group of recipes that are fun and flavorful. I didn’t know all of the bread items you could make with a sourdough starter!

The book captures the artistry of bread making with delectable photography!

*received for free from netgalley for honest review* This book is so beautiful and the recipes sound (and look) so delicious :0 really need to try some of them out!

I really enjoy cooking and browsing through cook books and this has to be one of the better bread recipe books I've found. I'm not familiar with Bryan Ford but he is obviously a very good and passionate Baker. This book makes it easy to learn how to make a sourdough starter that then gives you so many different delicious bread options to bake from around the world. I loved how many different countries breads were represented in this boo from pretzels to English muffins. I also love how easy the recipes are to understand and each recipe is set out the same way so you can easily see how they all compare. This would be a great book for anyone looking to get into baking.
Thanks to Netgalley.com and Quarry Books for my complimentary eARC copy.

A great book about the art of Sourdough. As many of us are spending way too much time at home, the timing is perfect. If this book doesn't make you want to bake, nothing will.

Thank you Quarry Books and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you NetGalley and publishers for an ARC. All opinions are my own.

I love baking and creating a deliciously, warm loaf of bread is incredibly satisfying. Sharing your sourdough with others is the ultimate gift of hospitality. Bryan Ford is an incredible baker and his passion is ever present in New World Sourdough. You can travel the world with the wide variety of recipes from different cultures from the warmth of your kitchen. I really enjoyed reading this book and loom forward to experimenting with different textures and styles of sourdough!

The world of sourdough is so fascinating and this book comes at the perfect time as quarantine has given some the gift of time to bake these gorgeous loaves.

This is a fantastic cookbook if you want to make sourdough bread or other items. The pictures were beautiful, and I loved all the recipes for sweet sourdough things I wouldn't think of.

I made the pizza dough and focaccia using my existing starter, and they both came out great! I highly recommend this book.

Thanks to Quarto Publishing Group – Quarry for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Great way to learn about Sourdough. Students who are interested in baking would find this interesting.

The way Bryan talks about bread and technique is so joy filled that it spreads to you. I love bread and making it but have always felt like I wouldn't enjoy making sourdough but I'm now eager to try it out through Bryan's recipes and techniques. I am buying my own hard copy of Bryan's book and will definitely be suggesting it to everyone I know that is interested in bread making. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for my digital review copy.

A very timely book seeing that everyone has taken up baking during COVID-19. Though short, this book gives some great tips on how to make sourdough, the types of flour to use, and how to make a starter and keep it going, a crucial step in bread making. Besides the fermented breads, the second part of the book covers sweet and savory artisian breads. An essential book for the breadmakers out there.
Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for making this digital ARC available. This review can be found on my Goodreads page, also.

I loved reading this book. The photos were drool worthy, the recipes seemed straightforward, and the read was enjoyable. I’ve discovered, however, that I’m still incapable of creating a sourdough starter and keeping it alive whether it’s generated from wild yeast or from a dried culture. If I ever create a living starter I’m definitely keeping this book in mind to come back to. Thanks for the salivating pictures.
