A nice clean rare copy from the library gathered by the famous Cambridge Don, computer scientist, food and wine connoisseur, Jack Arnold LANG. Jack founded the Midsummer House, Cambridge’s paramount restaurant. This dining experience is hidden amongst the grassy pastures and grazing cattle of Midsummer Common and perched on the banks of the River Cam. 

This is Jack’s personnel copy, a well kept hardcover copy with dust jacket, price tag unclipped, no markings, stickers or stains. 

This book is filled with descriptions of specialty breads – particularly fancy shapes. It describes the bread, gives formulas and shaping instructions. Every page is loaded with illustrations, not just to be pretty, but to show how the loaves are formed. If you’d like to make fancy breads in a myriad of shapes and flavors, as well as decorative breads that are meant to keep as works of art rather than to eat, this is the book to get.
