I encourage you to write to me. I am always interested in corresponding with people who share common interests. I am also always looking for recipe testers. At this time I am looking for people interested in testing bread recipes. I am also interested in people who have a bread oven — but having a bread oven is not a requirement for the recipe testing.

If you would like to speak with the publisher of my book, The Magic of Fire, please contact Lisa Regul (lisa@tenspeed.com) at Ten Speed Press, Berkeley, California.
