by Daniel Leader and Judith Blahnik
In 1983, Daniel Leader untied his apron strings as a Manhattan chef and moved upstate to the Catskill Mountains in search of a better loaf. His dream was to perfect the art of traditional country bread baking. Leader's painstaking quest is chronicled in this back-to-basics primer best suited to the serious baker. With patience (his secret ingredient) and Leader's careful instructions, any New Age cook can become an Old World baker. (Morrow, $25)
