More DescriptionThere is a bakery in the town of Cavaillon where the baking & appreciation of breads ¿had been elevated to the status of a minor religion.¿ Its name: Chez Auzet. Now, Mayle & Auzet, the proprietor of this bakery, tell us about breadmaking at its finest. They takes us into the baking room to witness the birth of a loaf. We see the master at work -- slapping, rolling, squeezing, folding, & twisting dough as he sculpts it into different kinds of bread. Includes precise, beautifully illustrated instructions for making 16 kinds of bread, from the classic baguette to loaves made with such ingredients as apricots, hazelnuts, garlic, & green & black olives. Tricks of the trade are revealed, & along the way Mayle relates the delightful history of four generations of Auzet bakers.
