There is nothing like the aroma of fresh-baked bread. Now authors Washburn and Butt, home economists and publishers of The Bread Basket, a newsletter for bread machine owners, offer cooks over 125 different recipes that should keep their bread machines busy. From English Muffins and Focaccia to Orange Pecan Loaf and Prairie Bread, the recipes clearly illustrate that cooks have a wide range of choices beyond the basic recipes featured in most bread machine manuals. One of the best things about this practical cookbook is the simple, easy-to-understand layout of each recipe.

Chattman is the author of several dessert cookbooks, including Icebox Pies and Mom's Big Book of Baking. Here she offers 50 recipes made with cereal for all courses of a meal, from breakfast to late-night snacks. Some--such as Oatmeal Pecan Waffles--sound a bit more enticing than others--Pappa al Pomodoro (bread soup) made with Wheaties. And some, such as Fruit Loop and Blueberry Parfaits, will certainly appeal more to children than to grownups. The recently published Kellogg's Cookbook includes 200 recipes for cereal lovers; Chattman's is recommended for larger libraries or collections where that volume has been especially popular.
