Local Breads: Sourdough and Whole-Grain Recipes from Europe's Best Artisan Bakers
Categories: Cookbooks, Food & Wine
In Local Breads, Daniel Leader, founder of the Catskills bakery Bread Alone, travels through Europe in search of artisan breads made in back rooms and basement bakeries. He learns to make sourdough baguettes with spelt, flaxseed and soy at an organic bakery in Alsace and works with bakers in Genzano, near Rome, whose country loaves hold protected geographic status. Detailed recipes walk through every step needed to reproduce these breads, many previously available only locally.

- Seth Godin: “After that, I bought a few foundational books: Think Like a Chef, some books from Alice Waters, Daniel Leaders' groundbreaking books on baking. I didn't buy books of recipes. I bought books where someone who understood how to cook had a narrative about how it all fits together.”
