Going with the Grain

by Susan Seligson
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
From the heat of India to the buzz of downtown Brooklyn, an award-winning journalist shares her adventures in the bread trade on a culinary and cultural odyssey. Whether it’s a crusty baguette, a round of pitta or a flat of matzo, Susan Seligson just can’t get enough of the stuff. She stalks pillowy round loaves on their way to the communal bakeries of Morocco’s ancient city of Fes, witnesses the ritualistic creation of what may be the world’s most expensive pain au levain, and gapes at the coiled stainless steel innards of a mammoth American Wonder Bread factory. Seligson’s adventures are leavened by her wit in a journey that is personal, historical and best expressed in the Arabic, aysh: the word for bread, and also for life.
