The Bread Baker's Apprentice

The Bread Baker's Apprentice: Mastering The Art of Extraordinary Bread by Peter Reinhart.

I want this cookbook.

I've read a lot about it and must have it. I have been reminded continually that it is a must-have.
*Exhibit A) One day while enjoying cupcakes and soup and bread at American Fork's Flour Dough and Girl Boys and learn that this book was the inspiration for their entire business! Uh-mazing!
*Exhibit B) Pinch My Salt and some other blogger's just started baking their way through this book. Ahhh how amazing. I'd love to join but know I couldn't keep up. Thank goodness the group is locked so I'm not too tempted.
*Exhibit C) Who doesn't want to master the art of making extraordinary bread! I don't think I need another reason. Eh?!

So this cookbook is officially on my wish list. I accept gifts for any and all holidays/occasions/day of the week! Happy Friday, I hope you all have a great weekend.

Hi there!
Thanks for dropping by my blog - and I'm sorry it has taken me a few days to get back to you!

Books. If I had to recommend the 2 books from my list that I enjoyed the most, I would say Sarah's key (so so good) and Jodi Piccoult's My Sister's Keeper. Oh my.

Good luck on your Book-a-Month endeavor!

Yes, I've seen this book at Flour Girls and Dough Boys! Considering the caliber of their creations, I'm thinking this had got to be a pretty stellar book, wouldn't you agree?
