Real Bagels Are Boiled: Twenty Painless Recipes From a Girl Who Learned to Bake When She Moved to a Town Where Nobody Made a Proper Bagel

I enjoyed this book, as well as the author's enthusiasm about the subject. She gives clear and simple instructions on bagel boiling & baking. While it was a very fast read, I came away feeling I had received good instruction on how to make and enjoy many different types of bagels. I look forward to trying my hand at many of her recipes, and am grateful that she was willing to share her expertise to help others become better bakers.

Love the stories and the creative bagels in this book! Just one the beginning journey of making my own bagels and don’t know why it took me so long. Great addition to my skills. Thanks

The flavors are very good and creative. However, instructions are only included in the first, "basic" recipe, so you have to extrapolate. I ended up using the flavoring suggestions and had another book on-hand for the actual "recipe." Price is right for the Kindle version, though! ($3)

This is the bagel cookbook i was looking for! It contains a broad variety of creative bagel recipes with hints at how to prepare them for boiling and baking. As a book itself, the book deserves five stars. I bought the Kindle version. It is more awkward on a Kindle to flip back and forth between pages as much as I would like to in a cookbook which is why I gave it only four stars.

Great introduction to making your own bagels, since so many companies and stores just sell “round bread”, instead of real bagels. Some recipes are a little strange, but the orange cardamom recipe was right on target….a new favorite!

This book promises step by step instructions, but sadly it doesn't give anything but the ingredients. This book seems very incomplete and it starts at page 45?!

We love the book and hope to get that New York flavor!

This unique book explains detailed information on making classic and artisian bagels. This is a wonderful gem.
