Bread is my favourite food, and I have found this book absolutely fascinating to read! A real treasure! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ excellent book *by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 13, 2021* excellent book ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bread is life. A book not just for bread lovers. *by M***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 5, 2010* Bread is easy right? You just whack together a bit of flour, water, sugar yeast and salt. Mix it all up let it sit for a bit then heat is using your choice of oven. Maybe you've popped an egg in for richness or you've added olive oil for knocking up a ciabatta. Simple, but how much do you know about the flour from which your bread is produced or how and where it may have been ground and what's actually in it?What this book won't give you is tips on making your bread better or tasty new recipes to try out. What is does deliver is a fascinating journey through history describing the evolution of the humble loaf and the wider ranging social commentary around it. The book shows how changes in the way we got our daily bread shaped society and changed the industry. The book links up the social aspect of bread with the points in history where technological advances dramatically improved the way that bread could be produced and mass produced. It follows the rise and fall of bread from a staple part of the layman's diet to an "inferior commodity" food seen as poor persons fare.Whilst I don't think this is a book for everyone, the authors have done a good job of taking what could have potentially been very dry material and done a great job of presenting it in a clear and interesting way. It reads like a popular science book but also, I think, retains the credible air of an academic text.The summary sound bite "you'll never look at bread in the same way again"For those thinking of taking it on holiday the book measures approx 20x12.5x2cm and weighs 300 grams --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/4523079-bread-a-slice-of-history](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/4523079-bread-a-slice-of-history) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
