What a sad day for me! This is the same book I have been working on all year, with recipes and suggestion in my blog on what I was doing. There are some recipes in his book that I do not have but almost all of them are there, plus I have a lot more. It was also suggested that he had delayed fermentation and I wondered if that was like my motherdough technique. 

Here is a list of my bread recipes that I have so far many of them being tested right now by testers on my forum(there are more recipes, I have just listed most of them):

I can’t possibly compete against a biggie like Peter. However, my breads do not have any commercial yeast and his usually do. I wish for you the best Peter, I just wish I had gotten my book out a year ago and wasn’t competing against your book. I wonder if a publisher will even accept my manuscript now. Dang!

My book will be called – Discovering Sourdough – Professional Sourdough Breads Baked at Home

I may have to self publish… any publishers willing to take my book on?
