My birthday is coming up in about a week and my wife is asking for
suggestions. (Usually she asks a lot sooner, but a tree falling on the
roof, etc. have sort of delayed such things.)

What sourdough books and/or cooking items would you suggest I tell her
might be good to get me? I'm mainly baking whole wheat sourdough type
breads. Many of the books I have seen so far are either the ones
dealing with Alaska and the '49ers or else are mostly the technical
side of baking.
Thanks.
Russ

Send her over he

The brotforms with removeable liners (and perhaps a bus tub for covered
proofing) are pretty good bets.

I suggest Nancy Silverton's Breads from the La Brea Bakery
