Bread Matters by Andrew Whitley
The state of modern bread and a definitive guide to making your own. This book is a penetrating critique of the modern British bread industry. It presents new research showing the potentially harmful effects on human health of changes in the way wheat is grown, milled and turned into bread. But Bread Matters is more than polemic. It encourages people to take control of part of their diet back from a food industry that cannot be trusted, providing detailed instructions on how to make good bread at home, based on twenty-five years' experience of producing breads that have won national acclaim. In what one reviewer has called his 'effortlessly fluent style', Andrew Whitley debunks a host of baking myths and gives fool-proof methods and recipes that will last for years. 'The most important book on baking since the publication of Elizabeth David's English Bread & Yeast Cookery' - Rose Prince, Daily Telegraph.
