something that inspires me
March 10th, 2011 § Leave a Comment
Bread represents life. Although it comes in different shapes, textures, colours, and tastes the world over, bread is a universal staple. From creation to consumption, bread by design engages all five senses. However, to many of us the convergence of the comforting aroma, delicious taste and satisfying texture of freshly baked bread is unfamiliar. The unsettling presence of mysterious ingredients and the inferior quality of most commercial bread motivated me to attempt bread making. When I make bread, my senses, a little logic, formulas and methods that have stood the test of time guide me. By carefully selecting ingredients, I know that what I am creating is healthful and sustainable. As I refine my technique, I become more confident. Every loaf is unique. The often-serendipitous results never cease to amaze me. Bread making has taught me the value of good craftsmanship. It has inspired me to challenge the design of everyday objects without compromising quality for cost or convenience.
