At the 2010 KNEADING Conference

I was struck by the profound convergence of topics that make the Kneading Conference timely. A reporter commented that it seems the event is more than just a baking conference, you get to hear about philosophies of baking and farming too. Indeed, from Fred Kirschenman’s introduction about the importance of building healthy soils to heal the earth, reverse damaging climate trends and grow healthy crops, to Jeffrey Hamelman’saddress reminding us the importance of crafting bread with our hands, the real food revolution was never more apparent than at the Kneading Conference this year. I feel so fortunate to be living at a time when the world is reawakening to the importance of real food grown nearby, including real bread, and grains grown and milled locally.
