Lionel Vatinet is one of the preeminent bakers of our time, and at the same time an amazingly humble man. His grand passion for bread baking, including the deep connection it gives him with the community and his ongoing commitment to lighting the fire in others, comes through in heartfelt ways in this book.This is my favorite baking book, among many dozens that I have owned. This is in part because it has many more pictures than any other cookbook I have owned. Lionel shows visually each step of the baking process, and of course shows the end product as well. The book also includes the logs he recommends bakers keep to track the factors for success and learn as you grow as a baker. These are the very same things I've learned in his baking classes. It's an excellent reminder for me and a wonderful way to learn if you live far from Cary, North Carolina. Measurements are given in both English and metric amounts so the book will work for bakers anywhere.We have been blessed to have Lionel, his wife Missy, and now their two daughters in our community for 15 years or so now. I've witnessed their business grow from a little hole-in-the-wall bakery to include a café that serves three meals a day and even a food truck, as well as having his bread sold in local health food stores. As a part of an ancient French guild Lionel's bread is as good as the best I enjoyed while living in France, and I've had the pleasure of taking a number of his baking classes, alone, with my mother and even with my daughters and have witnessed his sincere commitment to sharing the baking tradition across generations and among professional and home bakers alike. Lionel's commitment to children is evident in his offering classes for the youngest bakers, birthday parties and his insistence on offering a little sweet treat to children who come into the bakery. He also makes a point to come and greet his customers, chatting with them in English or French, never too busy to give you his undivided attention even at the busiest times during his work week. At the end of his classes he sends home unfinished dough (as well as the finished products) so you continue to practice, and he invites students to return with what they have baked at home. We did this one busy, rainy Saturday morning with my youngest daughter and he insisted on bringing us back to his office and sharing her tart with him. What a rare treasure for someone as important and successful as he is to take the time and honor my child that way. Lionel truly is the best kind of businessman, neighbor and friend, and we are blessed to have him in our area.

    Make boulangerie style bread at home and never look back!
  

*by D***T on Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2016*

Great book. Only thing I've found a confusing so far is the directions for making the natural starter say "refrigerate as in the directions" but I can't find that anywhere!  I simply put it in a lightly covered mason jar in the refrigerator between uses - about a week - take it out to warm before using, measure off what I need, refresh the starter and back into the fridge it goes.  I have left it for a couple weeks and it still makes a great loaf of bread.Very informative book and it definitely helps me get that great crust and crumb you get at La Farm Bakery in Cary NC!  Showed the book to a friend and he was enamored with it so we gave him a copy of his own.Additional Info 5 years in;Over the last 5 years I've been making rustic farm bread nearly weekly  I started using the Sir Lancelot High Gluten Flour last year and find that to work great with this method of bread-baking. A good yeast, some sea salt, and water is all it takes to make a great loaf of bread.  Friends can't stop eating the stuff - unmatched texture and taste and it's so easy to make.  About 15 minutes of "work" fermentation for an hour, shape loaves, ferment for another hour and into the oven it goes.  My only complaint is that if I make two loaves, I want to continue eating the bread until there is no more!

    Good recipes; poor bookbinding

I received my book 10 days ago. Great recipes and stories however, the book binding is already falling apart.
