Founder of New York's Sullivan Street Bakery, Jim Lahey started a revolution with his no-knead technique. Here he elaborates on that method, explaining not only the science behind his approach, but through liberal use of photos, the technique as well. Lahey's passion for bread making informs his plainspoken advice and straightforward methods that should be adopted by chefs and bakers of all stripes. Hardcover book is 224 pages.
