An autobiographical journey into the history and development of the perfect baguette. An amusing take on being a home baker, not a professional. A few niggles about the author's facts (e.g. wheat does not contain more protein than meat). Otherwise, the narrative was very insightful in demonstrating that bread-making is an art as much as a science and very similar to the process in creating an outstanding vintage wine. Not so much a recipe book (although there are some), as insights into making bread more traditionally and what will ruin or enhance the genuine taste of homemade breads. ( ) I almost have enough Bread Adventure Books to make a good blog post. This book would definitely be on that list. Fromartz sets off to try and make the perfect loaf of bread. He travels to France. He travels to Kansas. He travels to Berlin. He studies bread-making with the bread-making greats in the world. And he shares what he learns with us. Fabulous. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

" An irresistible account of bread, bread baking, and one home baker's journey to master his craft In 2009, journalist Samuel Fromartz was offered the assignment of a lifetime: to travel to France to work in a boulangerie. So began his quest to hone not just his homemade baguette-which later beat out professional bakeries to win the "Best Baguette of D.C."-but his knowledge of bread, from seed to table. For the next four years, Fromartz traveled across the United States and Europe, perfecting his sourdough in California, his whole grain rye in Berlin, and his country wheat in the South of France. Along the way, he met historians, millers, farmers, wheat geneticists, sourdough biochemists, and everyone in between, learning about the history of breadmaking, the science of fermentation, and more. The result is an informative yet personal account of bread and breadbaking, complete with detailed recipes, tips, and beautiful photographs. Entertaining and inspiring, this book will be a touchstone for a new generation of bakers and a must-read for anyone who wants to take a deeper look at this deceptively ordinary, exceptionally delicious staple: handmade bread"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
