You can feel the warmth coming from the bakery as the unmistakable aroma of freshly baked bread hangs in the air: there are still some people who bake bread as only a few still know how. This book introduces them and gives them a chance to share their secrets about baking and flavor, and of the joy of making something with your hands, something full of life: the dough, which ferments, rises and – subdued by fire – is transformed into a delicacy.

The authors wanted to use the book to tell stories and keep them alive. And naturally, not without trying their hand at some of the bread recipes they learned about.
