Reading this book brought me a great deal of joy, and I found much to savour both as a Classicist and as a keen home baker
The life experiences of the author are the motor of the narrative, and thorough scholarship is shared in a very accessible way

Summary
Reading this book brought me a great deal of joy, and I found much to savour both as a Classicist and as a keen home baker. A Meditation on the Cultural and Symbolic Significance of Bread throughout History I cannot possibly vouch for the exact accuracy of quotes, references and dates, but even at times when the focus is not on presenting accurate historical data, a se non è vero è ben trovato makes it all fall into place.
