I love his sourdough recipe (but with far less water). I find his attitude to his sourdough far too hardline and prescriptive - just relax and it will all be fine!

There was not enough general guidance in the book for my taste, but if you're looking for very prescriptive recipes, it may appeal to you. I took it out of the library and have no great wish to own it.

I happened to mention the book on my blog and Jo Bertinet commented and gave me great advice to use a floured linen tea towel to prove the dough on, so that it doesn't stick and thus make it difficult to transfer to your baking stone or tray.
I also bought one of the special scrapers but find a good silicone spatula works quite well - but the scraper is better for cutting amounts off the dough.… (mais)
