Tartine Bread is a brilliant book, which gives the reader tons of relevant information, such as how to tweak the taste of the bread you bake, from mild to fully sour (I prefer mild), or the differences between flours and how they react. I followed his Basic Sourdough loaf recipe and I must admit it worked better than the one I had done previously, and has become my ‘go to’ one. Once you’re ok with this, you can then go on to more challenging variants, which I shall be trying. If you liked Tartine All Day by Elisabeth Prueitt, Chad's partner in work and life, and Flour Water Salt Yeast by Ken Forkish, you'll love Tartine Bread! Additional categories for this book include:

Sourdough starter is, at its core, a fermented mixture of flour and water, and the kind you’ll need for this recipe can be found online or in some stores. When starter begins to show signs of activity, begin regular feedings. Keep the starter at room temperature, and at the same time each day discard 80 percent of the starter and feed remaining starter with equal parts warm water and white-wheat flour mix (50 grams of each is fine). When starter begins to rise and fall predictably and takes on a slightly sour smell, it’s ready; this should take about 1 week.(Reserve remaining flour mix for leaven.) There's no way around it: Baking good bread without gluten is difficult. You can't just substitute gluten-free flour for wheat flour and expect great results, and that's doubly true if you're using a bread machine to do the mixing, kneading, and baking automatically. Thankfully, Jane Bonacci and Shannon Kinsella have already done all the testing and experimentation to adjust all the recipes for you. Each recipe has quite a few options and there is also a list of ingredients (sometimes unconventional) and where you can get them. The book is beautiful and accompanied by high-quality photographs.

The country bread from Tartine Bakery in San Francisco has reached cult status among passionate bakers, and deservedly so. Based on traditional principles, Mr. Robertson has developed a way to get a tangy, open crumb encased in a blistered, rugged crust in a home kitchen, from a starter you create yourself. It is a bit of project — from start to finish, it takes about two weeks — but well worth the effort. (If you already have active starter ready to go, then the process shortens to two days.) So know that you have to be patient, and that the nature of bread baking at home is unpredictable. The level of activity of your starter, the humidity in your kitchen, the temperature during the rises, the time you allow for each step — all of these elements affect the bread and any change can impact your final loaf. But that final loaf is a wonder, the holy grail for the serious home baker. —The New York Times There is a whole section about Robertson's path to breadmaking, and lots of artsy photos of food, and a bunch of recipes that use bread which seem overly complicated - so I'm not so into most of the book.
