King Arthur Flour Baker's Companion named as one of the 20 Essential Books to Build Your Culinary Library.
On November 12th, the James Beard Foundation Book Awards Committee announced its list of essential cookbooks. Whether you're a new cook or an experienced chef, 20 books have been identified as the core books for any cook's permanent library. All of the books chosen for the Beard list are currently in print, were written by established authorities in their fields, and will endure as basic cooking resources for many years to come. The 20 Essential Books to Build Your Culinary Library selections are the product of more than 250 years of combined culinary publishing experience!
"We tried to make the list both broad and deep by including various types of cooking, major international cuisines, and reference," says Kathleen Purvis, Chair of the James Beard Foundation Book Awards Committee. "We've included several general cookbooks, too, which could be considered 'the core of the core.' That group of books contains answers and inspiration for just about any cook, any day, in any kitchen."
The King Arthur Flour Baker's Companion (The Countryman Press 2003) is included on this prestigious list of kitchen 'must have' reference books encompassing the complete scope of the craft of cooking.
USA Today on November 15th, 2007 ranked King Arthur Flour's Bakery and Baking Education Center among the Top 10 best sources of artisan breads in the country. The Bakery and Baking Education Center is presided over by Master Baker Jeffrey Hamelman, who recently completed a holiday baking theme radio tour. In addition to The King Arthur Flour Baker's Companion, the tour highlighted the other King Arthur Flour cookbooks: The King Arthur Flour Cookie Companion and King Arthur Flour Whole Grain Baking, all published by The Countryman Press.
