I am a widower with no children and I own 4 small bistro/bread bakeries on the east coast. Professionally trained in the US, I love well made, fresh baked bread. Favorite cookbooks are anything by Julia Child, Alton Brown is also fabulous, and "The bread Baker's Apprentice: Mastering the Art of Extraordinary Bread" by Peter Reinhart, is a book full of good advice and how to's.
