The Perfect Loaf Cookbook is Now Available!

This post might include affiliate links. See my policy.

After three long years of writing, testing, photographing, and baking (of course), The Perfect Loaf: The Craft and Science of Sourdough Breads, Sweets, and More is now available anywhere cookbooks are sold!

I created this website over 10 years ago to help others learn how to make sourdough bread from their home kitchen. A decade later, and many comments, emails, recipes, and guides later, my website—and me!—are still here to help. Now, with my sourdough cookbook, I hope it will continue to do the same for you in your home kitchen.

The Perfect Loaf Cookbook

The Perfect Loaf is now a New York Times Bestseller and James Beard Award-winner!

A Look Behind The Scenes

A behind-the-scenes look at the making of The Perfect Loaf cookbook. So much dough mixed, divided, and shaped throughout the making of this book. And you can bet I ate my fair share during testing, too.

The small photos on the wall were proofs taken during the photoshoot with the talented Aubrie Pick, who took most of the photos in the book.

Thank You!

I wanted to thank all the readers who have stopped by The Perfect Loaf over the past ten years; without your support, feedback, and friendship, this wouldn’t have been possible.

So thank you, and I hope you enjoy my cookbook—happy baking!
