Sentimental Journal #3: Harvest
Morocco | Bread Project Worldwide
“Read it like a magazine.
Treasure it like a book.”
Bread Project Worldwide
In the third issue of Sentimental Journal, we contributed to the ‘Harvest theme’ with a story about our beautiful Bread Project Worldwide.
’Isn’t it fantastic how bread, one of the oldest prepared foods in history and baked with only a few ingredients (usually flour, water, yeast, some salt), shows such a wide variety all over the world? In recent years we have seen many different breads being baked in the most beautiful bakeries and ovens. We tasted, felt their crust and smelled them. You could call us bread gatherers, hunting for the most beautiful bread stories worldwide. We collect them to eventually bundle them in a book, but also to honor the wonderful artisan baker's trade.’

A UNIQUE PHOTO PROJECT IN SEARCH OF ARTISAN BAKERS
As Dutch photographers and writers, Mirjam Letsch & Hans de Clercq are collaborating on an International Artisan Bakers photo project, an initiative of Johan Pater, fourth generation baker himself. An assignment that takes us all over the world, visiting bakeries and capturing beautiful stories with a colorful insight into the lives of bakers and their craft worldwide. This page gives a short overview of the countries and bakers we visited thus far. We are always searching for inspiring visual stories about flour, bread, bakeries and ‘granny’s with old recipes’. It’s truly amazing how only a few ingredients are used in so many different ways all over the world. Please contact us if you have a suggestion! We cannot disclose too much about the end-product(s), but it will be stunning for sure! We have an Instagram page as well.
