“There are many excellent bread books, but only a few for the
serious home baker are truly must-have. This is one of them. George
Greenstein's knowledge is in his bones, in his hands, and in his
heart. It all comes through in this classic collection of
indispensable recipes and master techniques.” —Peter Reinhart,
author of The Bread Baker's Apprentice
“You could scratch the adjective ‘Jewish' from the title of SECRETS
OF A JEWISH BAKER . Although Mr. Greenstein, a professional
baker, happens to be Jewish, he has written a fairly comprehensive
general bread-baking book.” —Florence Fabricant, New York Times
“An essential purchase for anyone serious about baking
bread.” —Newsday
“Packed with wisdom and useful tips.” —Baltimore Sun
“While other bakers aim to educate readers about the nature of
bread, Greenstein's purpose is purely gustatory. He wants us to
bake, eat, and enjoy.” —Vegetarian Times
