BREAD RECIPES, BY PUSH-BUTTON

You've got your fancy new bread machine. You've read the instructions and, for once, even figured out how to make this gadget work.

Trouble is, the instructions provide owners with only a handful of recipes, usually just the basics like white bread, wheat bread and a few others. (Machine recipes and regular bread recipes differ in liquid-to-flour ratios.)

Four bread-machine cookbooks have hit the market so far, making such delights as chocolate-chip bread, oregano bread and banana-oatmeal bread as easy as pressing a button.

\ The Bread Machine Cookbook, volumes I and II, by Donna Rathmell German. Each paperback volume has 130 recipes. Published by Bristol Publishing Enterprises, San Leandro, Ca. $8.95 each. Area book stores can order if not on hand, or order direct by calling (800) 346-4889.

Plus, German is starting a newsletter in March for bread-machine owners. For more information, write: 976 Houston Northcut Blvd., Suite 3, Mount Pleasant, S. C. 29464.
