'An amazing book.' Dan Lepard 'The rich and fascinating story of bread.' Lily Vanilli 'A brilliant, timely and important book full of compassion.' Olia Hercules 'A fascinating exploration of our universal love of bread. David traces the past, present and future of bread through his personal lens as a third generation baker.' Edd Kimber In Breaking Bread, third generation baker, food writer and presenter David Wright examines the universal questions about bread and baking. About the people who make and shape the bread we buy and the difficulties that social and cultural change, food fads and health directives have had, and are having, on the baking industry. After his family bakery sadly closed its doors after seventy-five years, Wright asks if the the closure of the bakery underlines the very idea that bread is a dying foodstuff. Is bread good or bad? And what does the future hold for bread? Bread is an essential part of our story, our health, our very being. Every civilisation has a form of bread, and how we create, make and bake it, how we sell it and buy it, our food security, our access to it, affects everything: our physical and mental well-being, the ingredients, the seeds, the very earth we grow our grains in, the water we use and how we treat and sustain these natural resources, impact on the very health and future of our planet.
