Baking is part science, part stoneground milling and part river-running romance. But it's not the romance that will kepp your baking consistently good, it's the science - Paul Allam.

Whether you are interested in baking bread or creating the perfect pastry, this all-encompassing baking bible will ensure your efforts in the kitchen are met with success.
