I purchased Josey's cookbook and read it cover to cover, then tried his technique. His enthusiasm is infectious and his method produced some of the best bread I have ever baked. My particular favorite was the chocolate-cherry loaf. Though I have not had a chance to visit the Mill, I did send family who were in SF, on an errand to bring me a loaf. As it turned out, Josey was getting married that weekend and no bread was available, but, happily, they brought me some toast. I enjoyed every bite. I have been using the no knead bread making technique for a few years, and love the result and simplicity, however, Josey taught me that a loaf that calls for more time and attention is worth every minute.
