Staff Pick
This book is so beautiful I had to pick it up. The instructions are clear, including simple scientific reasons that tell you why to do something alongside how to do it. The loaves turned out chewy but not tough, and with a distinctive, earthy tang, better than any of my previous sourdough baking sessions. I can't wait to try some of her other, more creative leavens.
