Hi folks,
A quick heads-up...
Good news for those who pang after 'The Taste of Bread' by Prof. Calvel. It is available to buy and download in PDF format from the Springer website (the ebook version only appeared yesterday.... I've been enquiring for a couple of months now about when it would be made available). It is dearer than the Amazon kindle version which, from previews, is in black and white, but is in colour and viewable by anything that can read PDF. I have no links with Springer nor the book.

It still ain't cheap, though!
Keep baking,

Apart from a few color plates in the beginning Taste of Bread is black and white, so I'm not sure what good color would do you.
Can't argue with that. Maybe others might be interested in a different route to get hold of what is considered to be one of *the* references for bread baking that isn't tied into Amazon/kindle and isn't just a preview.
