"Kneading: A Timeless Art of Bread-Making" Step into the enchanting world of bread-making as we take you on a journey through the captivating process of kneading. In a sequence of black and white illustrations, witness the age-old tradition come to life. Our adventure begins in Tuscany, Italy, nestled in the picturesque Serchio Valley. Here, a skilled baker lovingly kneads spelt dough with expertise passed down through generations. The aroma of freshly baked bread fills Lombardy's air as golden loaves emerge from ovens amidst fields of cereals. With unwavering determination, another baker in Lombardy kneads diligently, his hands skillfully maneuvering the dough to create perfection. Meanwhile, nearby, an artistically cut dough takes shape for the production of Pizzoccheri - a regional delicacy that tantalizes taste buds across Europe. Venturing further into Valtellina within Lombardy's embrace, we encounter batter ready for Sciatt - small fritters made with basic ingredients that promise bursts of flavor with every bite. This region is truly a haven for culinary delights. As our exploration continues beyond Italy's borders and delves into history itself, we stumble upon an oil painting from 1895 depicting bread-making as an art form. It serves as a reminder that this timeless craft has captivated hearts and palates throughout centuries. Even ancient civilizations recognized its significance; evidence lies within stone relief from c. 30 BC showcasing intricate details of bread-making processes captured forever in monochrome photography. Traveling northwards to Frankfort-on-the-Main in Germany transports us to Mouson and Companys Perfumery and Toilet Soap Steam Works where fragrant scents intertwine with visions of bakers hard at work perfecting their creations. The Revue de l'Education Nouvelle introduces us to yet another facet - a charming illustration portraying a dedicated baker, his passion evident in every loaf he bakes.
