Welcome to the Book Review Linky Party, a sharing link-up for books! We are so happy that books are once again, back in fashion! And a great way to keep them front and center is to share a review of what you have read, if and how you enjoyed it and if you would recommend the book to a friend! Oh and a story or two of how you came to own or stumbled upon the book would also be fun...
The Book Review Linky will start each Wednesday at 12AM MST
and will run Wednesday through Tuesday of the following week. It is hosted with a full link-up at Homemade On A Weeknight! After linking do be sure to take a look at some of the other reviews. You just might find your next good read...plus it is just good fun to support other readers and bloggers. Reading, like travel is the one area where you can and will spend money and yet, you are much richer after doing so!
I am so happy to be a part of this weekly event!
Reading has always been something I have enjoyed. First as a child visiting the library each week (hello Little House books!), then as a parent and grandparent (Good Night Moon!) and always as a cook in my own kitchen. Cookbooks in particular have played a large part in recipe development and as a means to widen my own limited food horizons! While I might not get to Spain or Germany, through a recipe, I can cook the foods enjoyed there! Not to mention learning how to knit, fix a leaking pipe, or even plant a garden, because books can be a large part of our own, journey of a lifetime!
What am I sharing this week?
Herbal Breads
by: Ruth Sass
Copyright 1996
Herbal Breads is a slim volume of recipes. But that is not to imply that this little gem is lacking in quantity because the recipes offered are not only delicious, but just a bit off the beaten path of everyday flavor. Each is touched with the added flavor of herbs and the combining of fruit with herbs. Both of these character traits in bread baking are quite enjoyable to the home baker. And offer a new flavor twist on old favorites.
I have had this book for ages, like most of the cookbooks I offer here on Book Review Linky day. And I have baked from this book, often. With many more recipes tagged for future baking. This recipe for Minted Apple Bread (pages 38-39) is a favorite to enjoy. We have also enjoyed Oats and Prunes Bread (pages 34-34) and it is on my list to convert to a whole wheat recipe for sharing right here in Scratch Made Food! & DIY Homemade Household.
The other recipes we will be trying soon are the Zucchini Cornbread (pages 52-53) because can you ever have too many recipes to use zucchini or to bake a delicious pan of corn bread? I think not! Currently in the garden we have a nice pot of thyme, so the Fruity Bread with Thyme (pages 32-33) catches my eye currently. I honestly have to admit as a true bread baker, eater and lover of all things bread, there is not a single recipe in this cookbook that I would not make...offering the idea to simply make them all.
And now on to the Book Review Linky @homemadeonaweeknight!

This sounds like a wonderful book. The minted apple bread would be something I would want to try and the idea of herbs and fruits in breads appeals to me. It's great when you have a treasured cookbook that you love such as this one.
