Artisan Breads and Cheese: An Undertaking

"Knowlege is Power, and I think a teacher's job is all about the empowerment of his or her students, regardless of the subject.  A bread baker, like any true artisan, must have the power to control outcomes."
~Peter Reinhart, The Bread Baker's Apprentice: Mastering the Art of Extraordinary Bread

Another reason to LOVE my local library!!!  I just borrowed two books on cheese making and two books on artisan bread-making!  YUM!

1. The Complete Guide to Making Cheese, Butter, and Yogurt at Home; "Everything you need to know explained simply" by Richard Helweg, 2010
2. Making your own Cheese and Yogurt; by Max Alth, 1973
3. The River Cottage Bread Handbook, by Daniel Stevens, 2009
4. The Bread Baker's Apprentice: Mastering the Art of Extraordinary Bread, by Peter Reinhart, 2001

So begins my crafty, artisanal adventure...
