Crust & Crumb Hi, just wondering if anyone has the book Crust & Crumb by Peter Reinhart, and what your opinions might be?
I'm trying to re-build some of my cookbook collection after losing 99% of it in a housefire some years back. I've been slowly replacing what I can find(a lot are no longer in print) I also know I will never be able to replace the whole collection.. Especially moneywise.. There was almost 2000 cookbooks on my bookshelves, my collection itself, my mothers, my grandmothers etc.. My insurance gave me an (approximate estimate) amount of money for them. Not a whole lot when it got down to the nitty gritty..
So now I'm trying to purchase wisely and selectively, this time around..
I do have two favorite bread books that survived the fire.. A world of Breads by Dolores Casella 1966, and the Tassajara Bread Book by Edward Espe Brown 1970..
I'm now on the lookout for more up to date bread books. (not that bread recipes ever go out of style!) I've replaced some of my sourdough books so far, and now I want to add a couple of really good basic bread books..
So just wondering what you all think of Peter Reinharts book??
Thanks so much.. |
