I bought this book recently to go with my Russell Hobbs "Breadman Pro" machine.
"The Complete Bread Machine Book" first introduces you to your bread machine and to the art of bread making, first by explaining the workings of bread machines, and then by explaining the science of bread. This doesn't sound as 'schooly' as you'd think! Knowing how yeast works, and what stops it from working, for example, helps you become a better breadmaker. The book even includes a handy troubleshooting section, so you can see what causes problems and how to remedy them.
The recipes themselves are many and varied. Not all of them are a case of dumping the ingredients in your machine and pressing 'start'. Several of them involve using the 'dough only' programme, and you then shape and bake the bread in the oven. Having said that, there are plenty of 'chuck in and go' recipes.
There are loads of speciality breads, including italian panettone, bagels, brioche, and foccacio. The book tempts the tastebuds with offerings such as cinnamon & raisin swirl bread, brown sugar pecan bread, and tuscan sweet bread - an amazing infusion of orange, rum and fennel which smells and tastes divine.
I think what this book does is help you diversify your breadmaking repertoire, as I think many people get stuck with making the basic white and basic brown breads. Having said that, I followed the 'basic brown' recipe this morning (which uses honey instead of sugar) and I swear, it was the best brown bread I have ever tasted. I doubt there'll be any left for my husband to taste!
There are so many bread books out there, it's difficult to know which one to choose. This book is well laid out, with lovely colour photos. Each recipe has ingredient quantities for smaller and large loaves (or different quantities for buns etc) and the recipes are easy to follow, yet don't assume ignorance.
Thoroughly recommended.

I have been using this in conjunction with my Anthony Warrel Thompson bread maker, I've used around half of the recipes and they're all interesting and tasty, and they've all worked well. One or two really need to be kneaded twice, especially the celebration breads, which is worth bearing in mind. I always get compliments when I use these recipes, and since they're made using a bread maker they're really simple and easy to make - so they always look impressive and visitors think you've made a huge effort, but they take hardly any time or effort to prepare! Although I own other bread recipe books, this is really the only one I use, so if you only ever buy one bread maker recipe book, make it this one!

I just did the Kugelhopf (sweet) recipe (albeit from Lambert's older book - but it is the same recipe as in this one, I checked) and it was delicious! I followed the recipe as per the book and it worked wonderfully. The only thing was that the oven temps and times are for, I think, a conventional oven rather than a fan so next time I'll turn the heat down a bit. I can't comment on the book as a whole because so far I've only made this bread which wasn't cooked in the breadmaker as it was on the dough only programme. I've got a Rachel Allen (Morphy Richards) maker but I was considering the negative reviews and wonder if the problem might be the size of the breadmaker. The recipes in here are for 1lb and 1.5lb loaves whereas a lot of machines are designed for larger quantities... Just a suggestion.

Okay
Not a bad book, my mother-in-law liked it, could have been a little better with the quality - but then it wasn't expensive! The cover was ripped and some of the pages damaged. Read more

Not compatible with my machine either
As another reviewer said, this book looks great and the recipes are varied and inviting. Unfortunately I also find they just don't seem to work, at least not with my Morphy... Read more

Not compatible with Panasonic bread machine
The recipes sound great, but don't seem to turn out well in my particular bread maker (a Panasonic which can be bought on Amazon more cheaply than in the shops.)
