The Bread Baker's Pocket Companion is a portable, pocket version of the conversion tables, formulas, and recipes I use most often when developing recipes and baking bread, along with loads of other intel useful for bread baking.
It's beautifully & whimsically illustrated and designed by artist, baker, and author Johanna Kindvall.
