Mr. Bread

Hi all,

Welcome to MrandMsCooking.com—a website created by a community of cooking enthusiasts with the goal of providing books for novice cooks featuring the best recipes, at the most affordable prices, and valuable gifts.

Congrats on picking “Hello! 365 Bread Machine Recipes” and using it as your resource for bread making. First, let me introduce myself and tell how my passion for baking came about. In fact, I don’t consider myself an expert at cooking. It wasn’t until college when I learned to cook meals on my own while having my first taste of independence. To save money, I would buy and cook my own meals, as opposed to eating out since dining out is so expensive. At first, I used only novice recipes I found on the internet. Later on, I tried making more complicated meals. Around my university campus, I often saw various types of bread at bakeries. The unique and lovely smell of French bread would make me want to buy a loaf and take it home. I must say I wasn’t the only one got by the smell of French bread. The more I feasted on good bread, the more I became interested in knowing how to make it. This was how my love for bread began. I then decided to take a part-time job at a bakery to learn how bread is made, get some good recipes, and earn some extra money. The more I learned about bread making the stronger my love for bread grew. I made a big effort to learn more recipes and know more about the bakers’ experiences. Then I began to purchase ingredients for baking various kinds of bread on my own. That’s when I discovered the therapeutic power of baking. Whenever I feel sad or down, I find comfort in my small kitchen while whipping up a baked treat. A little crisp and good-smelling crust of bread was enough to chase my blues away. To make others feel good too, I give away many small loaves as presents.

Bread making is actually easy—no need for any special techniques. Whether you have skills or not, you can still make delicious bread. What matters more is the amount of love you put in. If you love what you’re doing, you’ll be hardworking, persevering, and patient enough to sustain your passion for baking and let it grow within you. Just imagining the smiles and beaming faces of my loved ones upon receiving my handmade bread makes me want to dash into my kitchen and work there all day long without getting bored. If I can do it, you can absolutely do it too.

From my unending love for bread, I’m creating this book and hoping to share my passion with all of you. With my many experiences of failures, I have created this book and hopefully it helps you. This Bread Recipes Series covers these subjects:

• Bread Machine

• Holiday Bread

• Pastries

• Pizza Dough and Crusts

• Yeast Bread

• ...
