Prospect Books' best seller is this handy instruction manual for
the ultra-keen breadmaker and DIY enthusiast showing how to build a
substantial bread oven in the yard or garden. Together with
detailed plans (which do not omit a single block or brick) and a
step-by-step specification, the book doubles up as an essay on
English bread baking in previous centuries, with special reference
to the hardware, equipment and working methods. There is plenty
here to interest the reader who is not necessarily going to embark
on the building project. The book was first published in 1997 and
has had an annual printing since then. It sells at much in America
as it does in Britain, although British sales have definitely
increased in the last few years. There are other books on the
subject, but few give as much historical context. The history of
bread is something which is almost entirely ignored in current
literature, greatly to its disadvantage. The book closes with a
couple of recipes. It was never meant as a cookbook; there are
plenty of alternatives, including the same author's Baking Bread at
Home (Phoenix). But the enthusiasm for good bread, and for baking
it yourself, is still growing and is well served here.
