Back in my bagel baking days, I used to know a thing or two about yeast.  My game has been shamelessly rusty of late, so I have started @ Genesis with a catch new work with a straightforward title: "Artisian Bread in Five Minutes a Day".

A collaboration between Jeff Hertzberg (kind of a regular dude) and Zoe Francois (kind of a kick ass chef), it presents ex-bakers like me a Class II rapid on regaining our game. 

The book is presciptive and slightly technical for righ-brainers, but keep on it!  As Collette Tatou chides Alfredo Linguini, "Follow the recipe!"

Baking bread is soulful, tasty and transportive.  It is floured-out therapy for a high-fructose corn syrup world.
