      The illustrator of the graphic cooking guides Let's Make Ramen! (2019) and Let's Make Dumplings! (2021) has a new partner in the comic kitchen, James Beard Award-winning Oregon baking revolutionary Ken Forkish. Together, they walk readers through the science and artistry of bread baking in an approachable and reassuring manner. While the content isn't terrifically different from many baking guides, the delivery presents both baker and artist as characters who become companions to the reader. This approach can revive interest in that pandemic-era sourdough starter languishing at the back of the fridge or be just the ticket for encouraging would-be bakers who have previously found the concept of homemade bread all too intimidating. The illustrations guide readers through elements of breadmaking that can seem obtuse, like folding dough, the day-by-day process of developing leaven, or shaping loaves. Recipes, all of which include schedules, a tremendous aid in planning ahead, include a variety of simple breads and pizza components. This essential purchase for public libraries provides a novel, warm, and encouraging approach to a dietary staple.
