Book Review #6

It's a darn shame that it's a bazillion and fifty degrees outside, because this book made me want to make wonderful homemade bread! But it's far too hot to turn the oven on....

Bread Alone by Daniel Leader & Judith Blahnik combines storytelling of how the Bread Alone bakery came to be, with recipes grouped into categories, the method, and all about ingredients. Because bread making is all about the ingredients.

I appreciated how specific the instructions were, as well as the little tips and tricks the author threw in so folks like you and I can make good bread at home.

I bought this book on a whim after reading Farmgirl Fare's review of the newest book by Daniel Leader, Local Breads, and she said that her original copy of Bread Alone is falling apart because it is so well used loved (why else would it be in a bunch of pieces?!)

So, as the weather in NorCal cools, I look forward to making awesome homemade breads.
