I’ve always wanted to put my baking recipes in a book, but as I’ve got more and more unwell, and I’m unable to bake nearly as much as I’d like to, I thought that wasn’t an option, but I’m starting to think that it might actually be the answer. I particularly liked that her dad and Kitty took turns in writing parts of the book, sometimes about similar things, sometimes about different phases of their journey. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. Much of the book is about baking and a career change but family life is described - the importance of Christmas, family dogs, meeting other families such as a wonderful family living in Copenhagen. Breadsong is also a cookbook full of Kitty's favourite recipes, including: - the Comfort loaf made with Marmite, and with a crust that tastes like Twiglets - bitesize queue nibbles, doughnuts with an ever-changing filling to keep the bakery queue happy - sticky fika buns with mix-and-match fillings such as cardamom and orange - Happy Bread covered with salted caramel - cheese straws made with easy homemade ruff puff pastry - the ultimate brown butter and choc chip cookies with the perfect combination of gooey centre and crispy edges.

In this uplifting work, the British dad-and-daughter duo behind Oxfordshire's Orange Bakery fold innovative recipes into a moving testament to the healing power of baking . We are experiencing delays with deliveries to many countries, but in most cases local services have now resumed. The memoir element is a beautiful insight into a sadly very relatable theme - tackling mental health issues as a family while finding creative outlets for tension is one that I feel will strike a chord with a lot of us. I feel like saying anything negative about this book would make me a jerk, so if you're looking for a book with a positive message that has some decent baking recipes, you may enjoy this one. Kitty, at 14 quickly spiralled from bubbly teen into a dark depression and her family gave their all to help her.The different fonts make the dual authorship work really well, there's lovely pictures and photos throughout, and I really did sit and read the 150-odd pages in one day, because I started and then I had to keep going. Half of the book is a narrative of how the bakery was born, and the other consists of a number of delectable bread and pastry based offerings. Featuring more than 80 recipes--including cinnamon buns, cheese swirls, and tahini brownies-- Breadsong is a celebration of bread and baking, and an inspiring story of the life-saving power of discovering a passion. The ultimate brown butter and choc chip cookies with the perfect combination of gooey centre and crispy edges.

I will never look at bread the same and have a much deeper appreciation for the ways in which we can connect to our food because of this book. This book is written by Kitty and her father, Al - they tell the story together and they each have a distinct font.

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. But the first half has so much heart in it that it makes you appreciate what goes into the recipes that much more.
