This is a beautiful book, but as a starting baker (if I can even call myself that), it is quite daunting。 I have my starter, and cannot wait to try my first loaf, but am petrified at the same time。 The recipes in here are amazing-the photography is beautiful。 I just hope someday I can make a loaf even a little worthy of this book。

less recipe, more a deep dive with beautiful images

The hipster intro to making bread。 Beautiful photos of recipes that require crazy ingredients (somewhat hard to find if you don’t live in a city)。 The actual bread recipe require much more time than the author thinks-getting “into the habit” and “calculating” rise and rest times is great if you aren’t working full time and have a family。 Unless, of course, baking bread is your full time job。

And here begins my reawakened obsession with baking。。。!!! This book was so fun and I cannot wait to use it until the spine breaks。 So many good recipes and the basic country loaf is one I can definitely see myself baking (and finessing, perfecting) for the rest of my life。 EEEEK!!

Judy Kropf

Loved this book! Made the basic recipe while still reading the first chapter, except I handed soaked seeds— it tastes phenomenal! This book is brilliant and beautiful!

This is a really good recipe book on bread baking。 It’s concise and easy to follow the directions。 It’s also filled with photos to help you to see the exact process for this particular type of bread。 It’s a nice, crusty loaf and has excellent flavor。

Nikhil

THE book I learned breadbaking from。 Covers the basics and a few different country loaf and enriched bread recipes that are easy to build from and get inspired by。

If you want to make good bread, you need this book。 I got into sourdough baking during lockdown one like everyone else did, and then got this as a birthday present from my husband。 It has all the detail and guidance you need to really transform your baking and I’ve made some incredible loaves。 There’s lovely recipes, too!

I have been baking all our bread consistently for 3 years now, but have baked off and on since I was a child。 I am 60 now, so that’s plenty of time for me to have gained a decent understanding of bread。 I love this book。 I am a big fan of Ken Forkish and use his book a lot to create my bread, but “Tartine”is a wonderful tool in my arsenal。 Some other reviewers have commented that Robertson’s recipes are not tight and have too much commentary。 They complain that you have to work too hard to find I have been baking all our bread consistently for 3 years now, but have baked off and on since I was a child。 I am 60 now, so that’s plenty of time for me to have gained a decent understanding of bread。 I love this book。 I am a big fan of Ken Forkish and use his book a lot to create my bread, but “Tartine”is a wonderful tool in my arsenal。 Some other reviewers have commented that Robertson’s recipes are not tight and have too much commentary。 They complain that you have to work too hard to find the ingredients and process。 But I like the book because he is helping the baker to learn the skill, rather than just shoving the formula out to followed without fault。 I have a lot of notes in my bread books, as I’ve created new combinations of flours and discovered what processes work best in kitchen。 If I blindly followed formulas, my bread results would be hit and miss。 Read and THINK, then bake。 。。。more

Understandably the bible of modern leaven-risen bread。 Roberts and Wolfinger have explained the process of homemaking high-hydration breads to baker standards in the clearest terms that I've encountered。 However, the instructions in this book still occasionally seem ambiguous, and the instructional photographs at times are to artistic to be helpful。 Overall a great primer by people who care deeply about making food and its production accessible。 Understandably the bible of modern leaven-risen bread。 Roberts and Wolfinger have explained the process of homemaking high-hydration breads to baker standards in the clearest terms that I've encountered。 However, the instructions in this book still occasionally seem ambiguous, and the instructional photographs at times are to artistic to be helpful。 Overall a great primer by people who care deeply about making food and its production accessible。 。。。more

Excellent。 The story behind the journey to sourdough bread itself is worth the read。 His recipes are not complicated。 If you want to bake sourdough successfully, this is a good place to start。

Pinguino

I need to buy this book。 It was so good。 I strugglebussed with some Tartine bread from recipes online, but reading through the process in here was incredibly helpful and I ended up with four absolutely wonderful loaves。

joy ferguson

Bread is excellent! Excited to try the croisannts as a pandemic project。 The book is good for understanding more about the steps involved in sourdough bread making。 My favorite part was about the test bakers and how they managed the schedule, though readers have to work possible timings out on their own。 Storyline feels very dude。 (less)

I wanted to learn more about sourdough, since I've had a starter I've (somehow?) kept alive the last couple of months。 I enjoyed reading about the process of baking the basic country bread, one day while waiting for one of mine to prove or go through bulk fermentation (still not 100% I know what I'm talking about)。 I liked hearing how the schedule and waiting was able to fit into many people's lives, and the recipe was more adaptable than I thought - probably part of how I've been able to be rel I wanted to learn more about sourdough, since I've had a starter I've (somehow?) kept alive the last couple of months。 I enjoyed reading about the process of baking the basic country bread, one day while waiting for one of mine to prove or go through bulk fermentation (still not 100% I know what I'm talking about)。 I liked hearing how the schedule and waiting was able to fit into many people's lives, and the recipe was more adaptable than I thought - probably part of how I've been able to be relatively successful, even though I never think of myself as a baker。 I also really liked the long section on what to do with days old bread and all the recipes and ideas。 The pictures throughout the book were very helpful。 Recommend for those alone。 。。。more

This is a must-have for anyone trying there hand at making sourdough bread! Besides being incredibly helpful, it is beautiful - love the photos and stories!

Authentic recipesLoved the background and appreciation for bread。 It provided very authentic look into bread and meals。 Excellent if you appreciate perfection over time。

This book convinced me to never bake my own bread again。

Regina McCreary

I have a perfectly good recipe with a starter I have been using for many years so why not mess with it? This book has a lot of good info but all my bakes using these ratios have been moderate fails compared to usual。

I had to know how the bread turned out before I could give a fair review。 It was pretty spectacular。 If you appreciate following an artist’s life journey in pursuit of something they can imagine but haven’t yet found, this book is that journey。 The height of the story is when Robertson commits himself to translating his craft in the most sensory way to something any of us can do。 With beautiful photography, intimate descriptions of the smells, sounds, and feeling of everything from a young start I had to know how the bread turned out before I could give a fair review。 It was pretty spectacular。 If you appreciate following an artist’s life journey in pursuit of something they can imagine but haven’t yet found, this book is that journey。 The height of the story is when Robertson commits himself to translating his craft in the most sensory way to something any of us can do。 With beautiful photography, intimate descriptions of the smells, sounds, and feeling of everything from a young starter to a perfect loaf。 And the stories of his test bakers who learned to bake as they live。 If the book alone doesn’t win you over, commit yourself to the adventure of baking the bread。 It’s the real deal! 。。。more

I'm not really going to read this entire book。 It's basically designed as a coffee table book replete with beautiful pictures of details of bread-making。 Robertson tells a bit about his history in baking, but without sufficient detail or drama to be really interesting。 Then there are recipes。 But the thing about learning to cook in the youtube era is this: a good book can't possibly compete with a halfway decent video, when one's hope is to learn new techniques。 I learned to make a decent Tartin I'm not really going to read this entire book。 It's basically designed as a coffee table book replete with beautiful pictures of details of bread-making。 Robertson tells a bit about his history in baking, but without sufficient detail or drama to be really interesting。 Then there are recipes。 But the thing about learning to cook in the youtube era is this: a good book can't possibly compete with a halfway decent video, when one's hope is to learn new techniques。 I learned to make a decent Tartine-style round loaf from "The Regular Chef," who credits and promotes this book: easy sourdough bread recipe | tartine basic country。。。。 Robertson describes, but this 15-minute video shows the techniques of folding, shaping, etc。, which really need to be seen to be understood。 。。。more

As with everyone else in COVID lockdown, I went ham on making bread early in the year。 This gorgeous book helped me on my way to multiple delicious breads。 I really gained an appreciation for the craft of hand making bread and I loved the approach based on feel and experimentation。 This book might be the next best thing to learning side by side with someone! :)

threecatsandagirl

I’m torn on this book because I am positive that the bread is absolutely delicious and you can’t get enough of it, but it requires making your own starter and leave。 I just don’t feel like it’s for a beginner like me! Maybe one day I’ll get back to it!

The book is beautifully written and easy to read。 My first impression was 5 stars。 But after actually baking the bread I wasn't so impressed anymore。 Maybe it's just me。 But I already had my own starter, I've baked many different loaves with wild and commercial yeast and this one still didn't work as expected 🤷‍♀️ My bread book to go by is Bread baker's apprentice - every single formula from it worked perfectly, so I think I will stick with it。 The book is beautifully written and easy to read。 My first impression was 5 stars。 But after actually baking the bread I wasn't so impressed anymore。 Maybe it's just me。 But I already had my own starter, I've baked many different loaves with wild and commercial yeast and this one still didn't work as expected 🤷‍♀️ My bread book to go by is Bread baker's apprentice - every single formula from it worked perfectly, so I think I will stick with it。 。。。more

A seminal book for the home bread baker。Every home baking book that comes after will use the idea of baking bread in a cast iron dutch oven。 It's game-changing。 Julia Child spent years trying to solve the same problem, but she was trying to make baguettes, so they wouldn't have fit in a little dutch oven and she missed out。I have never managed to follow one of the recipes exactly and successfully。 But they are always a good starting point, if you're very serious about bread。 My copy is dog-eared A seminal book for the home bread baker。Every home baking book that comes after will use the idea of baking bread in a cast iron dutch oven。 It's game-changing。 Julia Child spent years trying to solve the same problem, but she was trying to make baguettes, so they wouldn't have fit in a little dutch oven and she missed out。I have never managed to follow one of the recipes exactly and successfully。 But they are always a good starting point, if you're very serious about bread。 My copy is dog-eared and well-used。 And has flour on more than a couple pages。 。。。more

A gorgeous and informative dive into the world or naturally leavened breads。 I can’t wait to make so many recipes from this lovely work of art。

This book is fantastic。 I enjoyed reading the story behind his pursuit of a perfect loaf, and the method/recipe is the best among the few I've tried。 Honestly, you only need ONE good recipe and the Country Loaf is it。 Before buying the book I had tried several Tartine-based recipes from online cooking sites。 They worked, but I'm glad I went to the source: following the book has yielded the best results。 I've also made both butter and oil variants of the brioche to amazing results for a first tim This book is fantastic。 I enjoyed reading the story behind his pursuit of a perfect loaf, and the method/recipe is the best among the few I've tried。 Honestly, you only need ONE good recipe and the Country Loaf is it。 Before buying the book I had tried several Tartine-based recipes from online cooking sites。 They worked, but I'm glad I went to the source: following the book has yielded the best results。 I've also made both butter and oil variants of the brioche to amazing results for a first timer。 In spite of mishaps like being uprepared for such a rise (hot summer!), I was able to recover and learn。Tartine is quality over quantity all the way。 It's a beautiful and useful book。 Well worth every cent of a euro to me。 。。。more

The bakery that re-launched our understanding of sourdough? When you hear people mockingly describe or deprecate the multi-page recipe, don't be intimidated: it is full of photos, descriptions and explanations。 It is as close to having a lesson in person via a book as one could possible hope。 The bakery that re-launched our understanding of sourdough?

I know this is sacrilege but I found this book incredibly frustrating。 I’ve been baking sourdough for years and actually learned the Tartine technique from a blog, so I thought I’d go to the source and read the book for myself。 If you are new to sourdough, you’d do (much) better to find a Tartine recipe online and watch an amateur baker demonstrate the steps on YouTube。 The photos just aren’t helpful for something that involved simultaneous movement。 While the recipe I made turned out well the s I know this is sacrilege but I found this book incredibly frustrating。 I’ve been baking sourdough for years and actually learned the Tartine technique from a blog, so I thought I’d go to the source and read the book for myself。 If you are new to sourdough, you’d do (much) better to find a Tartine recipe online and watch an amateur baker demonstrate the steps on YouTube。 The photos just aren’t helpful for something that involved simultaneous movement。 While the recipe I made turned out well the second time I tried it, the way the recipes are written is infuriating。 Most bakers expect a list of ingredients (glad he does these using a scale and percentages; I expected no less), and then a list of steps with timing included。 This is written in run-on paragraph form, making the baker have to do a bunch more “bakers math” to figure out the timing of it all。 I would have happily read the long explanations, but they don’t belong as paragraphs in the set of recipe steps itself。 The actual recipes and techniques may be great, but the writing of them was underwhelming。 。。。more
