This is an exciting new series of food reference which celebrates the passion behind the food. The delicious recipes are a contemporary tribute to their culinary and cultural origins. Top chef, Paul Gayler presents a collection of 'classic doughs' and bread recipes from all over the world. Classic recipes from countries, including France, Italy, the UK, the US, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Poland, Morocco, Greece, India and the Philippines are all covered here.
