The Essential Bread Cookbook: from Beard to Bread by James Beard is #MCZBookClub May cookbook pick!

The Essential Bread Cookbook is a book on everything bread. The cookbook was authored by James Beard who has also authored other cookbooks like The James Beard Cookbook, Menus for Entertaining, Cook It Outdoors, How to Eat Better for Less Money (with Sam Aaron), etc.

WHO CAN READ / USE THIS COOKBOOK?

If you are a lover of pastry or an aspiring chef this is a good cookbook to practice with as it contains over a dozen detailed recipes tailored towards baking varieties of bread with analysis.

FAVOURITE CHAPTER  /  RECIPE:

Recipe: French-Style Bread

I am picking this because of the author’s honesty he stated “the bread I am giving here is not truly French, and for that reason, it is called  “French-style.” The author further recommended other recipes developed by Julia Child and Simone Beck in Volume 2 of Mastering the Art of French Cooking.

THEMES WORTHY OF NOTE:

Baking, Accuracy, Patience, Meticulousness.

RATINGS:  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. 5
