Bread (Paperback)

More than just a bread cookbook, Bread is a photographic journey to the world's culinary regions, from the naan bread and chipatis of India, to soda farls of Ireland, focaccia of Italy, brioche of France, and sourdough of America. Author Gail Duff traces, region-by-region, the history of the breads, discusses the grains and cereals they're made from, explains the methods of bread making that have been handed down from generation to generation, and gives the recipes for more than 150 breads in all, each accompanied by a photo of the finished bread. Bread makes a perfect gift for any cook and an outstanding reference for beginners.
