jim lahey's 'my bread'
I first came across Jim Lahey's book on amazon when I was searching for a Dutch oven. I had just bought Tartine Bread (Chad Robertson) and was planning to try the recipe. Am still waiting to beginthe starter (I travel a lot and am trying to figure out how to keep it going) and for my pan to be ordered (I live in India!). But, I am going to order my Dutch oven and I wanted some feedback on whether I should also consider buying Jim Lahey's (or any other) book that has recipes for the Dutch oven.
I have a lof of bread books. I enjoy My Bread for fast easy loaves. I would buy it again. The cheese loaf is one of my favorites.

I already have a starter which is white, and is 100% hydration. Would I need to start the starter in the book in order to do the recipes or can I use my own? I have the book but haven't done any of the recipes yet.
Thanks for your feedback on this.
I just use my own King Arthur flour starter
