Bread is one of life’s staples. The great variety of breads on offer today - olive bread, walnut bread, Indian flat breads, ciabatta, pain rustique - have raised bread to gourmet status. You can pay GBP10 in Waitrose for a fancy French loaf that supposedly offers an entirely new eating experience! This simple book encourages everyone to try their hand at basic bread recipes then, Jamie Oliver style, to add different flavours to produce delicious loaves and rolls at home. Christian Aid partners from around the world offer recipes for ethnic breads; there is a section of recipes, from soups to desserts, that use bread and a final section on what to do with bread leftovers.
