Everything comes from bread … a story of bread and friendship.
A cloud of stone-ground flour flying in the room, the sour smell of yeast, the mastery of my grandmother working the dough in precisely the right way, and then with patience as the dough rises and then once again in the oven, the fragrant crust that crunches under the teeth, and the smell that remains in the nose even when you leave the room–these are the things I learned and whose art I then shared overseas in Boston and Los Angeles and then across the Channel, to return finally home. –Giovanni Becagli.
