I consider The Tassajara Bread Book to have been a major influence not just on my cooking and baking, but on my attitude and philosophy about food in general.--Mollie Katzen, author of Moosewood Cookbook

This little book has long been a guide for those who want to bake but don't know where to begin.--Deborah Madison, author of Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone

I feel a special fondness for this book, which helped launch me on my way to baking bread.--Mark Bittman, author of How to Cook Everything

Like thousands of cooks of my generation, I have in my kitchen an ancient volume of The Tassajara Bread Book, its cover gritty with flour, its spine cracked from use, its pages stained with molasses, and dog-eared with decades of perusal.--Steve Raichlen, author of The Barbeque Bible
