(Bread) Beard, James. Beard on Bread

Illus. with drawings by Karl Stuecklen. Jacket. NY: Knopf, [1979].

Covering breads from sourdough to challah, brioche to fruits breads, and Parker House rolls to buttermilk white bread, this classic cookbook brings together simple, easy-to-make recipes from across America and around the world. Written by culinary icon James Beard—the “Dean of American Gastronomy”—and featuring a wonderful variety of different types of bread—plain, whole-meal, and sweetened breads, batter breads, baking powder and soda breads, rolls, flat breads, filled breads, fried breads, and more—as well as a 12-point list of remedies to help you bake a better loaf, this is the only book home bakers need in order to master the art of making bread.

Small piece of jacket lacking from lower front jacket panel corner; owner's name to upper front free endpaper, price clipped, else very good.
