MARTIN PHILIP
Yearning for creative connection, Martin Philip traded his finance career in New York City for an entry-level baker position at King Arthur Flour in rural Vermont. A true Renaissance man, the opera singer, banjo player, and passionate amateur baker worked his way up, eventually becoming head bread baker.
Part memoir, part cookbook, Breaking Bread: A Baker's Journey Home in 75 Recipes is a moving meditation on the art and craft of baking bread that reaches beyond technique and inspires at-home bakers to explore the essence of baking as an act of love, featuring photographs, hand-drawn illustrations and original recipes.

He has received two James Beard Awards and is the author of My Bread and My Pizza.The Sullivan Street Bakery Cookbook presents a clear, illustrated guide to making no-knead sourdough bread and also provides recipes for many of the most beloved café dishes served at Sullivan Street Bakery.
