Dan is the man.

His baking with passion book is excellent too:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Baking-Passion-Baker-Spice-Lepard/dp/1902757645/
(Silly prices from amazon sellers but Waterstones says it is reprinting and can be ordered for £9.99:
http://www.waterstones.com/waterstonesweb/displayProductDetails.do?sku=3779169 )

It can also be bought as two seperate books if you just want the bread bit or the cakes bit or don't want to wait for a reprint: 'Exceptional Breads' and 'Exceptional Cakes' (same content, just split into 2 books).

Waterstones has the cakes one for £4.79 and Play.com has the bread one for £4.99 or Borders for £5.39 - all with free delivery.

i find using the website "allrecipes.com" works perfectly. There
are more recipes on the US site than the UK, and there is a tool to convert the measurements. Its free to use and many other users have added their comments and opinions after trying out the recipes.

I've got a Killner jar ready and I'm going to try making the yeast mix etc. Fascinating reading, could never understand before how some days you make good bread some days it takes a while (if you see what I mean) now I'm understanding more about the yeasts and things in the air; makes more sense!

There is only 1 book you need for making bread that is Bread Matters by Andrew Whitley of The Village Bakery, Melmerby Cumbria. It is a very informative book with excellent recipies and Techniques

I have had a lot of really good ideas from "Bread Machine" by Jennie Shapter ISBN 1 84309 399 5
I got it in a discount bookshop for a fiver!

I changed my Morphy Richards breadmaker for a Panasonic four months ago.
What a difference. Everything that I've done in it has exceeded expectations. My wife's given me the job now.

I forgot to say, it is really important to weigh everything, so that you get consistent results. A scoop can vary, depending how compacted the flour is. Because of this, I've changed my scales to metric (grams) measurements, as they are far "finer scale" than pounds & ounces.

I made my sourdough starter yesterday. I think I made a mutant Ninja strain though as it soon was froathing over the Kilner jar ....mmmm back to the drawing board.
