Confessions of a French Baker

Confessions of a French Baker: Breadmaking Secrets, Tips, and Recipes by Peter Mayle


My rating: 3 of 5 stars
When asked what my "dream job" would be, my stock answer is a baker somewhere in the mountains of France - making bread in the morning and skiing, hiking or biking in the afternoons. Peter Mayle and Gerard Auzet's descriptions of life in a small-town French bakery were a perfect read for me. I only wish it were longer - it's a brief little book, and half of it is giver over to recipes. I would've liked much more than just the single day Mayle spends in the bakery.
