Tartine Book No 3

— Common Stock

More than any others, these books influenced our bread and pastry programs. We still look to them on occasion for inspiration, as we continue to learn about the ever-fascinating possibilities created when you combine yeast, water and flour. The books are also incredibly beautiful, a joy to leaf through.

Tartine Bread gives a thorough orientation to author Chad Robertson's baking philosophy and fundamentals of style. Learn how to begin a sourdough starter, keep it happy, and use it as a starting point for recipes ranging from simple country loaves to crusty baguettes and fruit-studded delicacies.

Tartine Book No.3 builds on the techniques in Tartine Bread, expanding into explorations of whole grains with recipes for breads, crackers, cookies and more. This is a bread book, but also an art book, with beautiful photos also by Robertson.
