Synopsis

Local Specialty Breads explores how regional breads serve as edible archives of human culture, blending culinary practice with anthropology to reveal how simple loaves encapsulate history, ecology, and community values. The book argues that bread is more than sustenance—it’s a cultural artifact shaped by geography, necessity, and tradition. Through vivid examples like Iceland’s ash-baked rugbrauð (born from volcanic landscapes) and India’s heritage grain naan, the text demonstrates how ingredients and techniques reflect resilience, from ancient famine workarounds to modern artisan revivals.

Structured in three parts, the book begins with baking science, explaining fermentation and terroir’s role in flour composition. A global tour follows, pairing breads with their stories: Japan’s pillowy shokupan mirrors post-war industrialization, while Mexico’s pan de muerto honors ancestral rituals. The final section confronts threats like industrial agriculture, spotlighting bakers preserving endangered recipes. Interdisciplinary insights—from soil data to oral histories—anchor each chapter, while simplified recipes (like shaping German vollkornbrot) bridge theory and practice.

What sets Local Specialty Breads apart is its dual lens: it celebrates bread as both cultural symbol and tactile craft. The tone avoids nostalgia, instead framing traditions as dynamic—seen in critiques of commercialized “artisan” labels or debates over recipe authenticity. By linking personal choices (like supporting heritage grains) to global diversity, the book transforms everyday bread into a call to safeguard humanity’s culinary legacy.

Angels in the Cellar - Notes...

Peter Hahn

On the verge of a complete breakdown, Peter Hahn quit his globe-trotting corporate job and laid down roots in the French countryside—determined to make a go of winegrowing. 
 
Peter bought a run-down, four-hundred-year-old “pile of a house,” ten acres of woodland, and a neglected vineyard in the Vouvray region of the Loire Valley. Angels in the Cellar is his moving back to-nature story, chronicling the demanding but profoundly rewarding work of traditional winegrowing through the seasons—from pruning the vines to harvesting the grapes by hand to pressing and barreling them for fermentation. 
 
An evocative, poetic account of a year spent working with nature, Angels in the Cellar is also a powerful repudiation of the global economy, hyper-consumption, and the impact of large-scale farming on the land and its ecosystems. 
 
**"A poetic diary of a year among the vines."—Alice Feiring, author of To Fall in Love, Drink This 
 
"[Peter's] journey is real and visceral, and like Emerson he has the writer's skill to invite us into his world and show us his heart, his passion, his journey. Unplug, and join him and his family in a world you will not forget."—Tor Kenward, proprietor, TOR Wines; author of Reflections of a Vintner**
