The Blurb On The Back:
In Breaking Bread, expert baker and food writer David Wright explores bread’s deep connection to culture, health and the environment, whilst addressing challenges like industrialisation, food trends and bakery closures. He examines bread’s pivotal role in civilisations, food security and sustainability, questioning its future in a changing role.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
David Wright is a baker, writer and presenter. This thought-provoking book examines bread and its role in society and the economy, its impact on health and the environment and industry challenges (which is particularly strong and draws on Wright’s own experiences with his family bakery). I wanted more on how gluten intolerance decreases when “proper” bread is eaten and Wright constantly repeats his credentials but it definitely held my interest.
BREAKING BREAD: HOW BAKING SHAPED OUR WORLD was released in the United Kingdom on 20 March 2025. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
