A little redirection to our Facebok page.

I decided to post a bunch of pictures on our facebook page, as a lot of new colleagues and students were already connected on there. I will use this blog to put some more detailed information about my quest.

In Search of the Perfect Loaf

My copy of Sam Fromartz's book, 'In Search of the Perfect Loaf' arrived today. I am looking forward to reading it.........what a wonderful connection, hand crafted, well fermented and beautifully baked bread, has meant for so many people. I am in awe........happy to be a tiny cog in this great resurgence!
Congrats, Sam.
