Good Bread Is Back: A Contemporary History of French Bread, the Way It Is Made, and the People Who Make It Hardcover - 2006
by Steven Laurence Kaplan; Catherine Porter (Translator)
In this beautifully illustrated book for foodies and Francophiles alike, a leading expert on French bread takes readers into aromatic Parisian bakeries as he explains how good bread began to reappear in France in the 1990s, following almost a century of decline in quality.
From the rear cover
"Like its subject matter, this book is a delicious and irresistible labor of love. Steven Laurence Kaplan has distilled his vast knowledge of France and French bread into a delightfully readable story that is also a brilliant, illuminating model of how to write contemporary social history."--David A. Bell, Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities, Johns Hopkins University
