The World's Greatest Bread.

Read it and weep.

Would you believe it? France too succumbs.

"The decline of French bread over the past few decades is one of the saddest aspects of the ransom paid to progress, and much of the blame must simply go to good old greed."

In the course of morning browsing, my husband found this article on the news/arts/life website Slate:

http://www.slate.com/id/2216080/

It's a review of a cookbook called "Kneadlessly Simple" - the author says she's an inept baker but apparently took a lot from the book...  I thought that perhaps a few Fresh Loafers (not lazy loafers, brilliant Loafers!) might find it an interesting quick read.  And, of course, of course, I posted a comment in their discussion forum highly recommending both the practice of baking and The Fresh Loaf!  

Otherwise, I only hope everybody is enjoying their own blooming spring, equalling blossoming life, and rising bread!

Hi everyone! As some of you may know, I work in a middle/high school library.  One of the magazines we subscribe to is Odyssey (Adventures in Science). This month's issue is dedicated to BREAD: Feeding the World and has an interview with Peter Reinhart.  I haven't even read it yet, (just came this morning) but wanted to share!

;)

Peace,

Ivy, ny
