Is it possible to find a more familiar food than bread, that expresses more truth about a people – Indians, Mexicans, Georgians, Egyptians, Peruvians, French, Iraqis and including Asians – who have all integrated it into their diet, as we are going to see?
As Gustain, a young bread-tasting reporter, discovers on his travels around the world, the countries that have most expanded the tradition of bread and the peoples who have developed their own ways of making it all over the globe also incorporate their symbolism, mythology and rituals into their bread, making it an archetypal product that is part of their very identity.
The story of Gustain, as illustrated by Jean-François Barbier and told by Jean-Philippe de Tonnac, relates the adventures of an indefatigable traveler in search of countless types of bread. His greatest challenge is to retain only ONE bread and ONLY one from each region he visited.
Philippe Girard, president and CEO of the company Eurogerm, came up with the idea for Around the World with 80 Breads. The book is based on his belief in an international approach to the field of bread baking using all five continents as inspiration. The team that carried out the groundwork was obliged to learn how to say “bread” in every language.
Eighty breads, eighty countries: ambassadors of a long, communal “odyssey” that started in Mesopotamia some 10,000 years ago…
Have a great trip!
