“Ripping sourdough in half is an apt metaphor for what Ford has accomplished with his first cookbook--refusing the tidy cross section dismantles the idea that all bread should have the same polished aesthetic qualities and be perfectly curated for Instagram. But maybe a better way of putting it would be to say that Ford's New World Sourdough is taking the concept of sourdough and burning it all down.” (from Amazon)
