Breadsong: How Baking Changed Our Lives

Product Information

There are some photographs scattered around the recipe section of the book, but the first half contains little sketches which I believe are done by one half of the baking team Al. They’re not necessarily professional drawings but they have their own charm. They’re simple and quirky but express what they’re meant to. It means they don’t overwhelm the text but instead complement it.

Remember it’s alive so the greater respect you show the dough with gentle handling, the more it will reward you and the better your loaf will come out. This was the first bread recipe I learnt to bake, and how the simple ingredients transform into a loaf still feels like magic. All you need to make a loaf with a crunchy crust and pillowy crumb, is a casserole dish with a lid and an oven that can get up to 230°C/210°C fan/gas 8. It’s truly a miracle.

We have been following Kitty and Al's journey with wonder and amazement. It is proof, if one was needed, that a loaf of bread can have the power to heal, bring joy, bring together a family and a community and give life flavour and purpose. In this book they share with their stories and recipes, both are utterly delicious Once your dough has risen and is bubbling away, tip it on to a lightly floured work surface. Remember it’s alive so the greater respect you show the dough with gentle handling, the more it will reward you and the better your loaf will come out. Gently shape the dough into a ball – a well-floured plastic dough scraper really helps here – making sure there is a light coating of flour all over. The White Witch, X-Men's Storm, Pennywise and The Mask: As stars get into the Halloween spirit - can YOU guess who's behind the costume? For all the solace she found in baking, Kitty’s mental health was still very fragile, so Al gave up his teaching job to be with her and assist full-time with the baking. The whole family rallied round to support the enterprise, even though they could barely move through the kitchen for all her new baking equipment. ‘Kitty was the Formula 1 racing driver and we were her pit crew,’ Al writes.

I baked myself better! 14-year-old Kitty Tait was deeply depressed — until her dad suggested baking. The effect was transformative: her shop’s a hit and her bread sells out in minutes Place a damp tea towel or shower cap over the rim of the bowl and leave in a cosy draught-free place to prove for hours; overnight is best.

The sub-plot to Kitty’s recovery and the success of the bakery is Al’s journey from employed teaching professional to anxious parent to full-time baker. Al had to reshape his identity in mid-life, but he has emerged as a proud baker, still Kitty’s cheerleader but resolutely his own man. They have a full bar and extensive wine list as they prepare for their eventual nighttime crowd that will populate the space as Steakcraft (review to come once dinner opens in the weeks ahead). Specialty waters, freshly squeezed juice and espressos are offered. Breakfast and deli items will be offered in due time as well as their freshly baked breads, fried donuts and pastries.

I found the split father and daughter narration to be really engaging, with a good blend of (sometimes stark) emotional reality and humour.

Diddy responds to rumours he wanted to fight Will Smith over threesome proposition with Jada Pinkett Smith and his ex Jennifer Lopez I am so glad that this book is going to be published later this month as I am looking forward to owning my own hard copy. I also know what I will be buying friends and family for Christmas! Thank you Netgalley for letting me read this story in exchange for an honest review.There’s bread, too, of course. The baker’s mainstay. In fact the bread came first, after an afternoon with an easy loaf recipe developed into Kitty’s hobby, then her passion. Today, four years since she first mixed flour with yeast, salt and water and pulled it together into a shaggy dough, baking is her livelihood. And that easy loaf has evolved into “Miracle Overnight White Loaf”, the first recipe in the book she has written with her father, Al. Lottie Moss puts on a racy display as she slips into a VERY revealing risqué costume to attend the Haunted House of Friends party Al is not only Kitty’s father and friend, but her partner in all things baking and business. They live together with Katie – Kitty’s mother and Al’s wife – older brother Albert and a collection of much-loved cats and dogs. The eldest, Aggie, is often home but currently studying.
