Thanks Sisi.

It's the next best thing to hands-on classes, so it seems!

[angrychef]

I got the video about a year ago and it is great for learning the basic bread skills. It has helped a lot, and I still watch it every couple of months. Chef Jack is very clear and uses simple terminology, the recipes aren't bad either. I really like his website too.

i must say that the CIA has a lot of great bread videos. if u are interested, call 1 800 culinary.

[angrychef]

Yeah, issac, I just order the bread baking series with Prof. Raymond Calvel. Can't wait to get them!

Angrychef: M. Calvel's name appears a few times in ARTISAN BAKING ACROSS AMERICA. I may checkout his videos.

[angrychef]

Yeah, that book is also on my wishlist and I think I will be getting it soon. Crust & Crumb also mentioned his name a lot.

[angrychef]

I just watched one of the videos and it is great! Looking forward to the other 2 videos this weekend.
I finally got Artisan Baking Across America(present from my boss for doing such a good job on his daughter's bday cake)and am so excited about this book. Really good stuff.

Raymond Calvel just had a book published called the Taste of Bread, which someone from school recommended to me. But I want someone else to spend the 70 bucks and tell me what's it all about. Then maybe I'll nibble.

Hoho TBH,

I don't know if you're plain bad or very wise!
