What's New
I'm almost done with the first draft of my bike trip memoir! I'm hoping to finish by April. I think it's over 1000 pages (I haven't gotten it all into the computer yet), but I plan to chop it down to at least 400 before I hire an editor!
I'm looking forward to the annual March trip to Asheville for the Bread fest. As usual, I'll be teaching a simple "basic kneading" class. See below for the link to the flier and schedule. Hints for those who've never been... arrive early because the tickets for classes go fast, and the ticket-getting can be somewhat chaotic.

August, 2007
Peter Reinhart's new book on whole grains will be out soon. Months (years?) ago, Peter had several bakers write essays for the book, including me. My essay was about enzymes in bread. The publisher, however, cut the essays, so I have posted mine here on the "Excerpts and Errata" page. (The link is in the menu to the left, up top.) Peter told me that he refers to Bread Science in his book, which is exciting in itself. I know he worked hard trying to find whole grain recipes for his book that taste good and poof up like "normal" bread. Peter keeps a weblog and sends out recipes to an army of recipe-testers; if you're interested in all this, you can check out his weblog at http://peterreinhart.typepad.com/.
