The King Arthur Flour Baker's Companion: The All-Purpose Baking Cookbook
By King Arthur Flour
Countryman Press - 2003
Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies : page 296
I thought these were good but not much better than regular Toll House cookies. I do recommend following the recipe suggestion to bake a test cookie and see if you like its 'spread'. I did not do this and was unhappy with the first batch of cookies- they were thick and didn't spread much at all. The other batches were better.

Rosemary Olive Oil Sourdough : page 284
I think I've become a bread snob now that most of what I bake is from Peter Reinhart's books, so this seemed a little simple to me. It uses all-purpose flour instead of bread flour and it can be made in one day as opposed to a long retardation. Because of these factors, the flavor is not as developed as a Reinhart bread is.
I actually bought the sourdough starter from King Arthur because mine died. It didn't have much of a sour taste but was good anyway- maybe it is too new. I divided the dough in half and made one boule as instructed. The other half I used to make the fougasse. Both were good.
