James Beard Signed 'Beard on Bread' Cookbook - New Arrival | Perfect for Home Bakers & Bread Making Enthusiasts

Illus. with drawings by Karl Stuecklen. Jacket. First Edition. NY: Knopf, [1973].

Inscribed & signed by Beard to John Hudspeth on the front flyleaf. John Hudspeth was an early student of Beard's at his cooking school in Portland, Oregon, where he met Marion Cunningham, and later became an occasional cook and organic produce supplier to Chez Panisse.

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.

Fine.
