Book of the week: The Tassajara Bread Book. Wow, how have I not discovered this book before? First thing: you'll notice that it has this retro look of 70's cookbooks. Well, that's because it's a re-issue. Apparently it's been "a favorite among renowned chefs and novice bakers alike for more than thirty years" (thanks, Amazon). But aesthetic aside, it has wonderful, oddly kind instruction, and is a great intro book to the newbie bread baker. I think you'll love this book. I do. It's not just informative but also charming.
