Summary

Hester's Book of Bread is an honest and delicious, down to earth book that tells of Hester van der Walt's passion for baking bread. Set in McGregor in the Klein Karoo where she bakes bread in a wood-fired oven, this book reflects Hester's intuitive feeling for the connections between the soul and food, particularly food that is prepared with care, according to traditional principles and methods. Hester's Book of Bread is infused with a fine sense of humour, helpful hints and mouth-watering recipes. It's a book as irresistible as the smell of bread fresh from the oven.
