Let's Make Bread!: A Comic Book Cookbook by Ken Forkish, Sarah Becan

informative lighthearted

5.0

The comic book about baking bread that you never knew you needed, and are going to love. Seriously, this is one of those ideas that turns out to be brilliant, because it's not only fun, it's actually extremely useful. I know a bit about baking breads and there will still a lot of useful stuff in here for my reference. I can only imagine how great this would be for someone who is new to bread-baking. Best of all, because it's a graphic novel, it's about as non-intimidating as you can get. And you can see exactly what is happening Every Single Step Of The Way.

Note: this book will teach you how to make yeast breads and sourdough breads, i.e. "slow breads" that take several hours (or even more). This isn't about "quick breads" like banana bread, coffee cake, beer bread, etc. Those are all delicious too, but they're significantly easier than slow breads, so if you want to make one of those, you can pretty much just google a recipe and go to town. This book will help you out with the sometimes-very-complex process of those slow-but-incredibly-delicious breads. I promise, you really can make them. And this book can help.
