Artisan Foods Book List
You will need to read one of these books (or a similar one), lead a 15 minute class discussion, write a 1-4 page review of the work, and excerpt 4-5 pages of the book using OCR (optical character recognition). The excerpt and your report will go on your blog.
These books are from my personal library and are available for check out for the entire course.
Claire will be marking the list below with who is reading each book. Please let her know your choice. More than one person may choose the same book, but the second person will need to get her own copy.
Caution - this list is not complete - browse the bookshelf in the classroom for the complete selection
