Eric Treuille's guide to bread-making makes the art accessible to the home cook. He has included over 100 recipes from all over the world and graphically demonstrates the techniques required in a series of step-by-step photographs.
Take one French food authority and author, one Italian food authority and author, give them a subject like bread and a publisher like Britain's Dorling Kindersley, and the result can't help but be one of the more engaging books on bread and bread baking. DK Publishing is of the seeing-is-believing school of cookbooks, and this philosophy works particularly well in their Ultimate Bread. The opening plates of the world of bread are enough in and of themselves to drive anyone--beginner or expert baker--right into the kitchen.
The "Baking Essentials" section shows and explains the differences in various kinds of flour, wheat and nonwheat, as well as the basic ingredients (yeast, oil, eggs, salt--not a long list) and tools. The "Basic Techniques" section shows you exactly what dough should look like in the various stages of bread production. The photos are so thick with color you can almost touch and smell the dough.
But the majority of the book is dedicated to recipes. Here you will find Country Oatmeal Bread, French Baguettes, Pretzels, Ciabatta, Pain aux Noix, Brioche, Nan, Pita, Corn Bread, and Challah. There are dozens of breads in all, from the very basic to the festive. And finally, there's even a section devoted to problem solving--although the biggest problem you may have is deciding which recipe to start with.
--Schuyler Ingle
Combine DK's gorgeous visuals with two authors skilled in the art of breadmaking, and you have the perfect book for anyone who has ever been afraid to try baking bread. Treuille, who coauthored Le Cordon Bleu Complete Cooking Techniques (Murdoch, 1997), and Ferrigno, whose last cookbook was Pizza, Pasta, and Polenta (Merehurst, 1995), begin with fundamentals such as essential ingredients and equipment before turning to basic techniques such as kneading and using a starter. Recipes for more than 100 different kinds of breads, including quick, flat, and festive breads, are offered. Each recipe has clear, precise step-by-step instructions with both metric and nonmetric measurements and time estimates. While there is no shortage of bread books to choose from, including The Book of Bread (LJ 1/97), which focuses solely on the history of bread, Ultimate Bread is an essential choice for all public libraries and any academic library with an interest in the baking arts.

ERIC TREUILLE has a Frenchman's almost religious allegiance to baking. He completed his culinary studies in Paris, began his career as a chef in London, and has cooked professionally in Sweden, New York, and California. Treuille has worked as a food stylist, including work on several of the successful DK Look and Cook titles by Anne Willan, and the Cordon Bleu Cooking School. He also co-authored The Complete Guide to Cooking Techniques, which was nominated for a James Beard Award. Treuille continues to proselytize the importance of bread during his classes in "hands-on" breadmaking. URSULA FERRIGNO runs "Flavors of the Land," a residential cooking course in Italy, where she teaches classes on breadmaking-her principal culinary interest. Born in Southern Italy, she was raised on her father's vegetable and olive-oil producing farm. .
She is the author of four critically acclaimed books.

我得说,这本书的排版布局真是让人耳目一新,它有一种奇妙的节奏感,让你在阅读长篇文字时,眼睛和心神都能得到充分的喘息。行距的拿捏恰到好处,既保证了文本的密度,又避免了拥挤带来的压迫感。段落之间的留白,像是呼吸的间隙,引导着读者的思绪自然地流淌下去。更妙的是,作者(或者说编辑)在关键转折点和重要论述旁,使用了不同字重的字体,这种细微的视觉强调,像是在重要的路口树立了清晰的路标,让你永远不会迷失在知识的丛林里。我甚至注意到,它在引用他处材料时,采用了小一号的字体和略微不同的墨色,这种低调而内敛的处理方式,既保持了文本的统一性,又清晰地区分了主体和辅文,这种对阅读体验的尊重,在当今快餐式阅读的时代,简直是凤毛麟角。
评分这本书的装帧带来的那种复古情怀,简直是直击我内心深处对“旧时光”的向往。从书脊上烫金的标题,那种略带做旧感的金色,在灯光下折射出一种沉静的光芒,让人联想到图书馆里那些蒙着灰尘的珍本。内页的纸张颜色似乎也经过了特别处理,不是那种刺眼的亮白,而是一种略微偏黄的米白色,这极大地降低了长时间阅读带来的视觉疲劳,让阅读变成了一种近乎冥想的状态。我甚至想象着,如果这本书被放在一个深棕色的老式木桌上,旁边是一盏暖黄色台灯,那画面感简直太完美了。它不仅仅是一本书,它更像是一个时间胶囊,将一种沉静、深思熟虑的生活态度,通过物理载体传递给了每一个打开它的有缘人。这种对“物”的珍视,是现代电子阅读永远无法替代的。
评分这本书的装帧设计简直是一场视觉盛宴!厚实的精装封面,那种沉甸甸的质感,拿在手里就让人心生敬畏。纸张的选择也极其考究,微微泛着柔和的光泽,触感温润细腻,即便是翻阅时发出的“沙沙”声都带着一种高雅的韵味。我特别喜欢扉页上那种古朴的字体排版,每一个字母、每一个标点都像是经过精心雕琢,散发着浓郁的书卷气。装订工艺更是无可挑剔,书脊平整有力,完全不用担心它会轻易散架。可以说,光是捧着它,就觉得自己的品味都提升了好几个层次。这种级别的制作水准,绝非流水线上的普通印刷品可以比拟,它更像是一件艺术品,值得被珍藏在书架的最显眼位置,每次拂去上面的微尘,都会唤起一种对阅读本身的尊重与热爱。这本书的物理存在本身,就已经超越了内容本身的价值,成为一种触手可及的美学体验。
评分我尤其欣赏这本书在细节处理上所体现出的对读者的体贴。比如,很多精装书在封面内侧会有一个信息页或版权页,但这本书的处理却非常简洁优雅,没有多余的广告或令人分心的文字,让开篇的仪式感更加纯粹。而且,它的侧边裁切工艺极其平滑,翻阅时手指划过边缘的感觉非常顺畅,没有任何毛刺感或阻滞感,这在追求效率的现代印刷中,是一个非常难得的亮点。这种对“触感”的极致追求,反映出出版方对书籍作为实体载体的终极尊重,他们似乎在用制作奢侈品的态度来对待每一本书的生产流程。持有它,你会有一种强烈的拥有感,它不仅仅是知识的容器,更是匠心精神的物化体现,让人忍不住想仔细摩挲,感受这份来自印刷工业顶峰的精致。
评分这本书的开本尺寸设计得非常人性化,它既有足够的版面来展示细节,又不会因为过大而显得笨重难以携带。我发现,无论是放在背包的侧袋,还是单手持握在通勤的地铁上,它都能保持一种恰到好处的平衡感。书脊的韧性也值得称赞,尽管我是一个习惯于将书本完全摊开阅读的人,这本书的装订依然能保持一个相对平整的弧度,不需要我费力去按住书页的一侧。这种对“便携性”和“阅读舒适度”的完美平衡,显示出设计者对实际使用场景有着深刻的洞察。它不是那种只能束之高阁的“花瓶书”,而是真正鼓励你带它去任何地方,与你的生活场景产生真实的互动,让知识的获取不再受限于固定的书桌前。
评分有些书非常不适合在晚上读——譬如这本。
