Quick Loaves
150 Breads and Cakes, Meat and Meatless Loaves

By Jean Anderson

     “Quick Loaves can be sweet or savory, hot or cold, big or little, flat or high-rising, round or square, or shaped like a brick. They can be meaty or meatless, “ethnic” or American, spicy or bland. They can be main dishes, desserts. And almost anything in between” – Jean Anderson, “Quick Loaves”

     Anderson gives bread lovers quick recipes for “cakes and breads (even a few short-cut yeast breads), meatloaves, vegetable terrines, pudding loaves, gelatin molds, frozen tortes and mousses.” The author includes some of her favorite recipes as well as some new ones. She “streamlines techniques and shaves down the ingredient lists.” She’s speeds things up by “creating two time-saving mixes: one for breads, one for cakes.” Time saving and good tasting; Bread making can’t get any easier! To better prepare you with this new, dynamic way the author recommends reading the three-page section on how to use the book.

     Readers can expect to find recipes for Quick Breads, coffee cakes, a few fast yeast breads, cakes pudding loaves, other desserts, meatloaves, and meatless loves. My favorite is the Baked Italian club sandwich loaf. In the meat section there is a little something for the chicken, fish, turkey, Thai, Italian lovers. There is also an improved recipe on the old favorite Meatloaf. Quick Loaves has the power to convert non-bakers. Old-fashion and modern Breadmaker’s will treasure it.
