Beard on Bread by James Beard

From the James Beard Foundation: In the 1960s, whole grains and homemade bread became symbols of the health food, ecological, and back-to-the-earth movements. By the next decade, when Beard on Bread was published, Americans were discovering the delicious breads of Europe. Beard on Bread was both a pioneer of the culinary renaissance and an icon of the era. Bread bakers and cookbook authors alike hailed it as essential reading. Several of us at the Foundation still recall—and bake—Beard’s legendary anadama loaf and banana bread. With seven reprints in its first year, over 264,340 copies sold, and as Beard’s best-selling book, Beard on Bread is truly classic. Used. Cover has a few tears, otherwise in very good condition.
