“Wanted to buy it for years. Years ago, my first loaf was declared a disaster site. I’ve gotten better but there’s still much to improve. This book was recommended by friends locally known for their excellent sourdoughs. It’s an enjoyable read and good information.”

“I have a lot of bread books. They end up on the shelf. This one I have read cover to cover and made bread with. The explanation, the technique and, of course, the bread itself are all superb. He gives detailed instructions on how to deal with challenges and variations of outcome. There are no machines used, no extra ingredients but always a very slow rise (very small quantities of yeast). You need a couple of bowls to mix and watch the rise, an accurate thermometer to measure temperatures and a dutch oven or bread cloche. Airy delicious bread with a flavourful and chewy crust. Can't be beat and you just want to keep making bread. All recipes designed for a home kitchen and do not require keeping a baker's waking hours. I love this book and am making my best bread ever. Worth every penny if you love delicious home baked bread.”
