REVIEWS

"Ford's cookbook, New World Sourdough, is full of deep expertise that answers many of these questions, but it's also an unusually warm, friendly invitation to making sourdough bread, a subgenre of the baking world that isn't known for being so inclusive and approachable." --The New York Times Magazine

"New World Sourdough is Ford's exploration of making breads from North, Central, and South America with natural fermentation, but it's also an opening volley against a stale idea of what artisan bread should be." --Food & Wine

"His recipes are refreshingly straightforward--eschewing complicated jargon for easy-to-follow instructions--and once you've mastered the simplest of breads, you can level up to breads you may have previously thought were not possible to make at home." --Chowhound
