Discover the story behind the world’s most essential food in Breaking Bread.
Third generation baker, food writer and presenter David Wright examines the universal questions about bread and baking. Is bread good or bad? And what does its future hold?
Bread is more than a staple; it is a mirror of our story, our health, our very being. Every civilisation has a form of bread, and how we create, make and bake it, how we sell it and buy it, our food security, our access to it, affects everything.
Breaking Bread provides a unique look into these themes, including:
- The craft and science behind creating, making and baking bread.
- Bread’s journey through history, from ancient rituals to modern revolutions.
- The health debate: why bread divides opinion and what science reveals.
- Industrial vs artisan baking: economics, ethics and the fight for quality.
- The politics and power of bread in shaping societies and conflicts.
- How bread connects to religion, identity and cultural traditions.
- Expert insights from leading bakers, food writers, farmers and campaigners.
- A vision for the future: can bread survive and thrive in a changing world?
Featuring interviews with Olia Hercules, Dan Lepard, Felicity Spector, Brad Leone and many more, as well as with pioneers of regenerative farming, Breaking Bread is both a heartfelt memoir and a thought-provoking manifesto. Wright’s journey – from the closure of his family bakery to rediscovering the soul of bread – invites you to rethink what’s on your plate.
For food lovers, home bakers and anyone curious about the story behind their daily loaf, this book offers a passionate call to protect one of humanity’s oldest and most vital foods.

Descripción de la tienda
In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we’re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.…

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
