Heritage Baking takes the principles of sourcing local, organic, and sustainable food and applies it to the world of baking, from grain to oven. And not only flavour and texture are vastly improved by using local grains and slow fermentation: the digestibility and nutritive properties of these baked goods make them available to many who have sworn off wheat and other grains.

Baking with alternative, artisanal flours takes some practice and adaptation. These flours contain more parts of the grain; they may be coarser than commercial flour; they may require more hydration or slower rising. In 50 recipes and one master formula for learning to bake with these (wildly different) flours by touch and sight, Ellen King, co-owner of Hewn Bakery and milling expert in Chicago, guides readers through the creation of flavourful breads and baked goods made with heirloom grains. This technique-driven book is organised by type of baked good (breads, pastries made with starter, brioche, cakes and cookies, etc.). Each recipe emphasises specific wheat types in order to bring out the best flavour and texture possible for each specific varietal.

Ellen King is one of my favorite bakers, and Hewn is a gem- there's nowhere else you can get such good bread made with flour that been so thoughtfully sourced and handled. Here, Ellen shows you how to do it. Why on earth pick up a bag of flour with strange sounding names such as Red Fife, Turkey Red, or Marquis? Allow Ellen King of renowned Hewn Bakery to explain how these heritage varieties add complexity and mesmerizing flavor to your baking. Ellen King represents the new breed of bakers: highly educated, intellectually curious, and committed to producing authentic heritage breads from sustainably grown heirloom grains. Heritage Baking is an important contribution to understanding and appreciating the artisan farmer-miller-baker movement in the United States. This beautifully written, lavishly illustrated labor of love is a must-have for any baker who seeks to create honest, authentic and flavorful breads and pastries. -Stanley Ginsberg, author, The Rye Baker
