I recently picked up a book called ChiRunning at my local bookstore. I have been practicing Taiji for several years now, though I haven’t attended classes in several years. I’ve been afraid that I’m diverging from where I should be because of lack of corrections from my teacher. Hopefully in the next year or two [...]

Peter Reinhart’s New Book
Posted in baking, books, bread on August 24, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I just received my pre-ordered copy of Peter Reinhart’s Whole Grain Breads: New Techniques, Extraordinary Flavor. I was a little disappointed with some of his previous books, not because they were bad books, but because he seemed to be focused strongly on white breads.

In preparation for buying a new grain mill, I order a new book, Flour Power. As far as I can tell, this book has no competition. There are no other books out there covering this topic.
