Summary
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。

It was lovely reading this story about Kitty and how she pulled herself "back to life" - and truly inspirational to see how their village pulled together to help out。The story itself was wonderful， and seeing how the recipes were developed over time was really interesting。 I also liked the fact we hear from Kitty's point of view as well as her dad's， it gives a slightly different take on things as they occurred。 I liked the little sketches dotted throughout the chapters。The "real" pictures at th It was lovely reading this story about Kitty and how she pulled herself "back to life" - and truly inspirational to see how their village pulled together to help out。The story itself was wonderful， and seeing how the recipes were developed over time was really interesting。 I also liked the fact we hear from Kitty's point of view as well as her dad's， it gives a slightly different take on things as they occurred。 I liked the little sketches dotted throughout the chapters。The "real" pictures at the end were great， but I wish there were more earlier in the book so I knew who I was reading about。 Some of the recipes are tricky， there are a lot of steps and I wasn't always sure it was looking like it's supposed to - not really for beginners。 I've succeeded on a couple of bakes and failed on a couple of others so far。Overall， an inspiring read that has the added bonus of a load of recipes to try！*I received a complimentary copy of the book from TandemCollective and am voluntarily leaving an honest review。 。。。more

Beautifully written， in a back-and-forth style， from father’s voice to daughter’s voice。 Emotionally impactful story of today’s youth hitting mental health road blocks in their informative years - and a family， and community， who came together to help and support Kitty Tait。 I laughed。 I cried。 I was throughly satisfied with how this story came together。

What a completely wonderful book。 Food for the body and soul。 Life affirmation and inspiring。 The recipes are exceptional too。 I am an aspiring sourdough homemaker and explanations and recipes contained here are second to none。 My absolute favourite cookbook ever。

Such a beautiful book。 I loved that it was half cookbook half autobiography。 Food is so powerful， and as someone who also used baking as an escape to get me through very difficult times， Kitty’s story really resonated with me。 An awesome read for bakers and baked goods lovers alike！

What a fabulous book！ It’s warm hearted， honest and incredibly positive。 You feel there is nothing the family won’t overcome， because there’s no such thing as giving up。 There’s a problem， then there’s research， teamwork and problem solving。 Breadsong is a very uplifting read。 Yes， I found myself welling up at times， but then I was laughing out loud and I’m pretty sure there were a few shouted “Hurrays！” And， of course， there is bread。 A lot of bread。 I’ve been making bread every week since 2014 What a fabulous book！ It’s warm hearted， honest and incredibly positive。 You feel there is nothing the family won’t overcome， because there’s no such thing as giving up。 There’s a problem， then there’s research， teamwork and problem solving。 Breadsong is a very uplifting read。 Yes， I found myself welling up at times， but then I was laughing out loud and I’m pretty sure there were a few shouted “Hurrays！” And， of course， there is bread。 A lot of bread。 I’ve been making bread every week since 2014 when I read The Beach Street Bakery by Jenny Colgan， a warm and cosy novel which really inspired me to make my own。 After all， I’d grown up eating homemade bread， I knew how much better it was than shop bought。 I just needed a nudge to follow Mum’s example。 She would come home on a Friday night after working hard in an office all week and make a batch of loaves。 I’d wait the minimum amount of time to cut a slice or two。 I always spread the crust with butter and honey。 For the last 4 years I’ve been baking sourdough， also inspired by some of the bakers Kitty mentions。 So， I completely utterly understand the appeal of dough and baking。 It is therapeutic and apart from ending with something hugely tasty to eat， you feel a huge sense of achievement。 I can’t wait to try some of the recipes， in Breadsong。 I didn’t realise that there would be so many！ HURRAY！Also I should go and visit the bakery sometime soon， as I’m not far from Watlington。 Who can resist a visit after seeing all the beautiful photographs in the book？ Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read an ARC of this wonderful book。 。。。more

Having just had a new kitchen installed， this book arrived at the perfect time to enable me to find my baking mojo again。As the synopsis states， Kitty discovered baking at the age of 14， enabling her to find a purpose in life after suffering from anxiety and depression。 The first half of the book is told by both Kitty and her dad， Al， explaining how baking took over their lives， home and local community。Thank you to Kitty and Al for sharing their story， hopefully this will help and inspire many Having just had a new kitchen installed， this book arrived at the perfect time to enable me to find my baking mojo again。As the synopsis states， Kitty discovered baking at the age of 14， enabling her to find a purpose in life after suffering from anxiety and depression。 The first half of the book is told by both Kitty and her dad， Al， explaining how baking took over their lives， home and local community。Thank you to Kitty and Al for sharing their story， hopefully this will help and inspire many other people。 Thank you also for sharing your recipes。 So far I’ve made the cheese straws （must follow the recipe instructions more carefully） and the Ultimate Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies （followed the recipe and everyone has declared them the ‘best ever’ cookies）。I’m planning to use the upcoming jubilee bank holiday to try some of the bread recipes， including the miracle bread。 I also hope to make a sour dough starter this summer and try more of the sweet and savoury recipes in this fabulous book。If you enjoy baking， this is a book you need to add to your collection。 Or alternatively， visit the Orange Bakery in Watlington， Oxfordshire and let the Tait family bake for you （follow them on Instagram at @the_orangebakery ） 。。。more

When is a cookbook not a cookbook？ When it first starts by telling you a beautiful story of a fight with depression that baking helped to overcome。 Breadsong tells the story of Kitty Tait， who was a typical energetic fun loving 14 year old， and her slump into a deep depression and overwhelming pit of anxiety， and how she ended up shrinking back from the world。 Her loving parents were supportive and tried to help in every way。 But it was her dad Alex， baking a loaf of bread one day， which changed When is a cookbook not a cookbook？ When it first starts by telling you a beautiful story of a fight with depression that baking helped to overcome。 Breadsong tells the story of Kitty Tait， who was a typical energetic fun loving 14 year old， and her slump into a deep depression and overwhelming pit of anxiety， and how she ended up shrinking back from the world。 Her loving parents were supportive and tried to help in every way。 But it was her dad Alex， baking a loaf of bread one day， which changed all of their lives。 The noise that the crackling of bread crust just out of the oven makes is Kitty’s ‘breadsong’。 This one loaf of bread quickly turned into a passion and then an obsession that drove Kitty to become the best breadmaker she could be。 She went from making ‘frisbees’ of bread， and refusing to share her attempts with anyone， to baking bread for most of the village。 After a runaway success sharing her baked goods， Kitty and her dad took a risk and opened the Orange bakery （with dad even quitting his teaching job to do so！）。 This bakery is such a success that there are often queues down the street for their baked goods。 This book is such a wonderful read。 It shows the deep bond of family， friends and the support of a community， and how much of an impact this can have on a person's life。 The village of Watlington comes across as a wonderful place to live， with so many people helping on Kitty’s journey。 The book is beautifully and simply written， with some beautiful hand drawn illustrations， and excellent photography。 The story is inspiring， and shows how， with the right support you can get through most challenges in life。 When you have finished the beautiful story， you then get to the recipes which were chosen to be included。 They are wonderfully clearly laid out， with fantastic product photos， excellent and easy to follow instructions， and they all sound amazing。 I think this book would make a wonderful gift for anyone in your life who enjoys food， and who has ever struggled with mental health。 It is a perfect combination。*I received this book from NetGalley for review， but all opinions are my own。 。。。more
