Bake This Book

About Bake This Book

Are we in the glorious final days of the physical cookbook just as interest in the ancient art of sourdough baking is at an all time high? Hopefully not, but if we are let celebrate what make cookbooks, especially bread cookbooks the lynchpin of the kitchen...counterculture if you will. For bread bakers and all lovers of cookbooks, the Bake this Book podcast discusses the bread cookbooks that will be your reference for years to come. Join Erik Fabian, cookbook lover and home baker, as we discuss naturally leavened, sourdough breads with a bit of pastry, pizza and talk about baking culture. We invite authors to talk about their inspiration, their favorite baking tips and the impact cookbooks have had on their lives.
