Media Reviews
"Unfortunately, this very practical book has a very impractical format. Produced as an oversized, and overweight, picture book with gorgeous photographs of potato-and-onion-festooned pizzas and star-shaped pandoros, ARTISAN BAKING will be hard to keep on a flour-dusted counter." -- Corby Kummer
-- New York Times Book Review
"It's not an easy book. It gives a real education, telling you more than you might need to know....But you don't need to read it through. You should read the opening how-to chapter and then just plunge in and try a recipe that appeals to you." -- Irene Sax
-- Epicurious

Publisher's Notes
Nothing is more satisfying than savoring the crust and aroma of truly great home-baked bread. Maggie Glezer has traveled across America and persuaded the country's most gifted artisan bread bakers to share their very best recipes and techniques so that home cooks can now reproduce sourdoughs, pizzas, corn breads, and baguettes that are truly out of this world.
Along with the recipes and the sumptuous photography, the fascinating portraits of the bakers tell the story of the artisan bread movement in America. Visit wheat breeders in Kansas, a gristmill in Rhode Island, and specialty bakers from Berkeley to Long Island City. Share the apprentice experience and visit a baking competition where Baking Team USA is selected. Glezer opens a window to a world never before revealed.

"The special thing about the Bake-Off® recipes is that they are a reflection of how Americans are living and eating," says Pillsbury. "These are not recipes created by a master chef, or the thoughts of a single company, but are the accumulated wisdom and experience of thousands of cooks who live real lives."The "best of the best" recipes, gathered from cooks around the country, reveal a true sense of Americana. "The Bake-Off® Contest is an American institution. It is an achievement of national stature, accomplished by real, average Americans who have won in an absolutely upright, thorough, and principled contest," says Pillsbury. The million dollar recipe from the 1996 Bake-Off® Contest, Macadamia Fudge Torte, is included as well as hundreds of other mouthwatering winning recipes, savory and sweet, that range from Cookie Dough Brownies and Choco-Nut Sweet Treats to Savory Mashed Potato Pie and Southwest Tortellini Chowder.The cooking contest's splendid history is almost as appealing as the recipes themselves. From learning the rules, understanding the judging process, and making long-lasting friendships to entering the hall to "When the Saints Go Marching In," and, finally, awaiting the announcement of the winner, we learn everything there is to know about this cooking contest, and we share with the contestants their emotions and the fond memories they have of being a prize winner at the Pillsbury Bake-Off® Contest.
