it has arrived!

finally received my copy of dr. raymond calvel's the taste of bread. it's a technical, professional bread manual, with intense chapters on dough maturation, the chemistry of bread, lots of charts, all that.

most of all, however, it has professional recipes -- given by weight and percentage -- for all manner of traditional french breads, common and obscure alike. everything from pain de campagne and meteil to many forms of brioche, and even some curiosities like seaweed bread!

must start reading now. ok, maybe as soon as the charlie brown movie is over. . .long-time readers may remember that until i met mr. right, linus van pelt alone ruled my heart. . .
