The talk is open to the public and will begin at 10 AM at Kendall College. I’ll be speaking about my new book on sprouted flour, “Bread Revolution,” and demonstrating how to mix dough using sprouted wheat flour. We’ll…Read More…

Hi All. Just got a great review on my new book, “Bread Revolution” at the following site: http://www.thekitchn.com/bread-revolution-by-peter-reinhart-cookbook-review-214550 Looks like a great site for lots of good recipes and commentary, so I’m just passing it on and, thanks to the folks at TheKitchn.com for their kind words. Best, Peter  

Note from Peter: Many of you have read Bob Radcliffe’s entire Pizza Quest series on his search for the perfect tomato pie, and some of you have even been to his extraordinary tomato pie events at Lynch Creek Farm in rural North Carolina. You can see some of the testimonials as you read through the Comments section of his articles (most of the articles are further down on this home…Read More…

Hi Everyone, Welcome to 2015!! We’re still here and are looking forward to a big year on Pizza Quest.  The site repairs and renovation, which have prevented us from posting photos and videos, are still ongoing, but I plan to keep posting words as I uncover new and interesting things. For instance, I’m heading to Philadelphia next week for the annual Philly Chef’s Conference, where I’ll be speaking and leading…Read More…

Hi Folks, Sorry we’ve been absent for a while. The site has been down for repairs and it’s still undergoing a makeover but we hope to be back soon with more postings. Hang in there with us and have a wonderful holiday season!  See you all here again soon…. Best Wishes, Peter

Hi Folks, An Amazon reviewer found a typo in one of the recipes, found on page 63.  The water amount by weight is correct but the volume measurement should be 1 3/4 cups, not 3 3/4 cups!  If you already have the book, please make that correction. Sorry about that. We’ll get it fixed for the next printing.  Thanks!  

  Hi Everyone, On Oct. 21st my new book, two years in the making, will at last be available.  The following is an interview I did with myself in order to give an overview and provide background on the book.  I won’t be selling these directly, but encourage you to support your local book store or, if you prefer, purchase it online.  I’ll be at King Arthur Flour’s Baking School…Read More…

Just a quick announcement to let you know that on Oct. 21st my latest book will be released. I’ll post a Q&A about the book on the 21st, so please check back then for that. Last week, I did a fun teleconference with PMQ Magazine (aka Pizza Marketing Quarterly) as part of their “Think Tank” section.  It aired live via Skype but I believe it will also soon be posted…Read More…

Note from Peter: Liz Barrett is the Editor at Large for PMQ Pizza Magazine, one of the world’s major sources of all things having to do with pizza. Her new book just came out and Liz agreed to answer a few questions for us.  I wanted to post some of the photos from the book, including its great cover shot, but our technical problems are preventing that for now, so…Read More…

Note from Peter: We’re still having some major problems with the photo upload and may have to do a major overhaul. But I didn’t want to delay sharing this great post by Brad English, so we’re breaking with tradition and putting it up without the usual mouth-watering photos. Just let your visual imagination roam and enjoy the story. Take it away Brad…. Note from Brad: I’ll post a couple pictures…Read More…
