"Ford's cookbook, New World Sourdough, is full of deep expertise that answers many of these questions, but it's also an unusually warm, friendly invitation to making sourdough bread, a subgenre of the baking world that isn't known for being so inclusive and approachable."-- The New York Times Magazine
"With his book, Ford sets out to clear up the notion that sourdough means the overly engineered Tartine loaf. It can be that. But it can also be any naturally leavened bread, like pan de coco baked in Honduras with naturally occurring yeasts."-- Epicurious
" New World Sourdough is Ford's exploration of making breads from North, Central, and South America with natural fermentation, but it's also an opening volley against a stale idea of what artisan bread should be."-- Food & Wine
"If you've thought about baking your own sourdough, New World Sourdough by Bryan Ford is here to simplify the process. With practical tips and techniques, you will feel empowered and excited to dive into the wide variety of baked goods, from warm pita to sweet brioche."-- POPSUGAR
"Since they couldn't break bread with friends during a pandemic, enthusiastic home bakers everywhere turned to making their own. Bryan Ford's blog Artisan Bryan and his New World Sourdough cookbook became the go-to guides. The perfect recipe? Flour, warm water and patience."-- People
