Freefrom Pizza Bread Matters - the state of modern bread and a definitive guide to baking your own Andrew Whitley's passion for bread had its genesis in a student trip to Russia in the late 60s with five friends. Due to a misunderstanding about the exchange rate, the six had to live on rations for three - which did not stretch much beyond dark Russian sourdough rye bread. After the initial revulsion, Andrew, at least, was converted - not just to Russian rye, but to bread as the staff of life. After a spell as a producer in the BBC Russian Service, he hied to a Cumbrian smallholding where he could grow his own food and bake his own bread. You can buy the book (cost £16) direct from Andrew's website - www.breadmatters.com or here at Amazon.
