Lahey (My Bread), founder of New York City's Sullivan Street Bakery, is credited with popularizing a no-knead, Dutch-oven cooking method that can be used to achieve bakery-worthy loaves at home. His third cookbook, written with wife and coauthor Joseph, builds on this technique, applying it to sourdough breads naturally leavened with biga, a type of prefermentation. Home cooks who aren't ready to take on the multiday process of making the biga can start with speedier breads, savory dishes, and sweets, including egg sandwiches, apple bread pudding, kale and cauliflower salad, and flourless triple-chocolate cookies. Throughout, Lahey provides excellent instruction in an easy-to-visualize way.
VERDICT A masterclass in baking with the bonus of delicious Italian-inspired foods. Highly recommended.
