Step into the world of bakehouses, where tradition and innovation blend seamlessly. In Edinburgh, a city known for its rich culinary heritage, the aroma of freshly baked goods fills the air. Just like the iconic Luini bakery in Milan, which has been serving up homemade Panzerotti for generations, these bakehouses have become symbols of their respective communities. Adrian Stokes takes us on a journey to a quaint Cornish village, where he captures the essence of a traditional bakehouse, and is here that locals gather to enjoy warm loaves straight from the oven, reminiscent of simpler times. But as we delve deeper into this world, we discover that technology has also found its place within these hallowed walls. Black and white photographs reveal modern machinery at work in contemporary bakeries. These advancements showcase how efficiency and precision are replacing manual labor in the baking industry. Looking back through history, we find glimpses of bakehouses being more than just places to satisfy our cravings. The Homes for Little Boys at Farningham in 1905 provided shelter and nourishment to those in need - their very own bakehouse offering comfort through food. Traveling further back in time brings us to 15th century England when bakers diligently crafted bread inside ovens. William Aubrey's captivating illustrations transport us to an era where baking was both an art form and a necessity. In bustling East London stands Barnardos Home on Stepney Causeway - its very own bakehouse serving as a hub for sustenance and community connection. This historic institution reminds us that even amidst adversity, there is solace found within these humble establishments. As we explore different corners of the globe, it becomes evident that regardless of location or era, one thing remains constant: dough mixing machines stand proudly as testaments to progress and efficiency within these sacred spaces. Engravings from 1855 take us on yet another journey through time - this time showcasing scenes of country life.
