Not just for chowder anymore, these hollowed-out rounds serve as edible vessels for meals of all kinds. Now, The Sourdough Bread Bowl Cookbook will help you get started serving food this way.
Whether you're using sourdough or pumpernickel, and whether your loaf is out-of-the-oven fresh or store-bought, authors John Vrattos and Lisa Messinger begin by showing you the simple method for hollowing out a bowl that is both beautiful and functional. What follows are
over 100 sumptuous kitchen-tested recipes, ranging from traditional dishes such as

also find outstanding bread bowl recipes developed by top restaurant chefs who have honed their culinary skills at such restaurants as the famous Scoma's on Fisherman's Wharf and the prestigious Tadich Grill-San Francisco's oldest eatery.
