Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: THE authoritative source for bread making! - You might be wondering why you'd pay this much for a book about bread when the internet tells you everything you need to know and more. The simple fact is, there is so much conflicting information out there with very little "science" supporting the methods - why one way is better than the other. What you can trust with Nathan and his team is that they are methodical, thorough and almost obsessive in their pursuit for perfection. You know that the method you are following is truly going to be the best way to do it. They have used over 40,000 kilograms(!!) of flour during their research for the Modernist Bread series. I don't know anyone else who can make that claim. Even what we think of as very small aspects of the overall process are researched in depth - for example, the best way to store your creation (and again, the science, evidence and testing behind their conclusion is provided). Even the best way to cut your bread has been tested. There is not a single aspect of the entire process that has not been covered - saving you a great deal of work and research. Even things that Ive never been sure about (why are some bread proofing baskets lined, and others not, and why should I use one over the other) is covered in extensive detail. I'm not a professional chef, I'm just a home cook - but I still purchased the full Modernist Cuisine series because it's just incredibly interesting. When I heard they were producing a Modernist Bread at Home, with recipes more accessible to home bakers, I put in my pre-order right away. Firstly, have a look on YouTube at how these books are physically produced - that is a work of art in itself. The care that has been taken in the craftsmanship of the actual book is impressive. The photography is beautiful, stunning and innovative - with real "cutaways" of actual kitchen appliances so you can see the inner workings of what is happening (for example, they have cut a stand mixer in half). The ink and printing used in the book (again see the YouTube videos) brings these photos to life in a way you do not normally see in a book. The layout is incredibly thoughtful - finally, someone who can layout a recipe, ingredients and methods in a logical way! Breads are categorised in many different ways so you can easily skip to what you need. For example, they have a list of breads for "I need it tonight", or "good for beginners", or more contemporary/innovative breads. There is nothing like this that exists - the book is truly unique in many ways. Yes, it's expensive - but when you understand what has gone into this, I think it is worth every penny. Thank you Nathan and team for another amazing book! Review: Making a real difference to the quality of my sourdough - Great book with a really useful kitchen spiral bound copy of salient details. Fantastic information that has really increased my knowledge of the practicalities. Also the quality of my sourdough has improved enormously. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 187,511 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 284 in Bread Baking 474 in Food Reference & Gastronomy 15,819 in Home & Garden (Books) | | Customer reviews | 4.9 4.9 out of 5 stars (87) | | Dimensions | 30.6 x 7.3 x 39.8 cm | | Edition | Hardback with slipcase | | ISBN-10 | 173799514X | | ISBN-13 | 978-1737995142 | | Item weight | 4.08 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 592 pages | | Publication date | 5 Mar. 2024 | | Publisher | Modernist Cuisine | ## Images ![Modernist Bread at Home - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81NgT2f0w1L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ THE authoritative source for bread making! *by R***K on 8 March 2024* You might be wondering why you'd pay this much for a book about bread when the internet tells you everything you need to know and more.
