eGullet Q&A With Baking Expert Peter Reinhart

[Jason Perlow]

Please join Peter Reinhart, bread expert, author and culinary instructor, for an exclusive eGullet Q&A the week of October 4. He’ll discuss his newest book, American Pie: My Search for the Perfect Pizza, as well as his other books and all things bread and yeast. As an added bonus, thanks to Ten Speed Press, three lucky participants will receive a copy of either American Pie, The Bread Bakers Apprentice, or Crust & Crumb in a drawing at the end of the week.

Peter founded the award winning Brother Juniper's Bakery in Santa Rosa, California. He now holds the title of Chef on Assignment at Johnson and Wales University in Charlotte, North Carolina, having taught at the university’s Providence campus the previous four years. For five years previous to that, he was a full time instructor at the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco.

Peter released his fifth book, The Bread Baker’s Apprentice, in November 2001. It won both the James Beard and IACP Cook Book of the Year awards, as well as the International Gourmand Award for Best Baking Book in the World.
