Meticulously researched and terrifically written, this is the lesser known story of the crew of the "Aurora," who were in support of Ernest Shackleton's 1914-1914 trans-Antarctica expedition. It rates among the best adventure stories, at times tragic, at times thrilling, always gripping.

I've made two recipes from this book so far and am loving it. Forkish helps you understand how to manipulate time and temperature to get the results you want, bake on the schedule you like, and develop your own recipes. Most importantly, the breads are turning out fantastic.

"You will have only one story," she had said. "You'll write your one story many ways. Don't ever worry about story. You have only one."

"But in order to really write, in order to be any kind of an artist, one of the things you have to be willing is to really be a total jackass and to really face that."
