“The smell of good bread baking….

“The smell of good bread baking, like the sound of lightly flowing water, is indescribable in its evocation of innocence and delight…

(Bread making is) one of those almost hypnotic businesses, like a dance from some ancient ceremony. It leaves you filled with one of the world’s sweetest smells… there is no chiropractic treatment, no Yoga exercise, no hour of
meditation in a music-throbbing chapel. that will leave you emptier of bad thoughts than this homely ceremony of making bread.”
