Why read it?
1 author picked The Italian Baker as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book literally changed home baking forever by making artisan breads accessible to the amateur cook. It was the first time that many of us saw recipes for the rustic breads with crackling brown crusts and moist, hole-ridden interiors that were before only available at specialty bakeries. All books are a labor of love, but I canāt imagine the determination an American woman must have had to wrestle the original recipes from Italian masters.
From Rick's list on baking for at home bakers.
