Bloomsbury presents Breadsong by Kitty and Al Tait, read by Kitty Tait and Al Tait.
James Beard Awards 2023 nominee – Bread category
Shortlisted for the 2023 Andre Simon Best Cookbook Award
A cookbook full of heart that explores the redemptive power of baking.
Kitty Tait grew up a funny, chatty redhead who made everyone in her family laugh. But around the time she turned 14, Kitty began experiencing anxiety. Slowly, she disconnected from everyone around her and struggled to wake up, get dressed, and leave the house. Full of worry, her parents tried everything, from new hobbies like reading and painting to medication and visits to a specialist. Nothing seemed to help.
Then, one day, as Kitty stood on a stool watching her dad mix flour, water, and salt, she determined Al’s gloopy, sludgy blob of bread looked a whole lot like her brain. The next day, peaking under the tea towel as the mix gently bubbled and popped, Kitty came to a stunning realization: bread is alive. Al asked Kitty if she’d like to try baking bread herself, and their lives were never the same again. One loaf quickly escalated into an obsession, and Kitty felt better than she had for a long time. Within nine months, Kitty and Al opened The Orange Bakery—and they haven't stopped since.
Featuring more than 80 recipes—including cinnamon buns, cheese swirls, and tahini brownies—Breadsong is a celebration of bread and baking, and an inspiring story of the life-saving power of discovering a passion.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Is this the story of a gloomy teen who discovers baking and starts her own bakery, snaps out of depression and goes to college and then a career in London--an accomplished woman with perfect nails? No, thank goodness. It's the very real memoir of a girl with a severe case of depression+ anxiety, her worried parents and siblings, and a budding interest in baking bread. Budding then turns to love & zeal.
I loved this well written, entertaining memoir. it's one of my favorite books ever.
One more wish: that every teenager (no, every person) discovers something that makes them come alive and feel like they belong in that world.
P.S. you might have to pause this book to race to a bakery and get some fresh baked bread.
