"I bake because it connects my soul to my hands, and my heart to my mouth." - Martin PhilipA brilliant, moving meditation on craft and love, and an intimate portrait of baking and our communion with food - complete with seventy-five original recipes and illustrated with dozens of photographs and original hand-drawn illustrations - from the head bread baker of King Arthur Flour.Yearning for creative connection, Martin Philip traded his finance career in New York City for an entry-level baker position at King Arthur Flour in rural Vermont. A true Renaissance man, the opera singer, banjo player, and passionate amateur baker worked his way up, eventually becoming head bread baker. But Philip is not just a talented craftsman; he is a bread shaman.
