Breadsong by Kitty & Al Tait

aired the week of October 13, 2025

Breadsong by Kitty & Al Tait is more than a cookbook for bread, it is the story of how Kitty Tait got her life back after a long fight with debilitating depression.  Kitty and her dad Al share how learning to bake bread and share it with friends in their small English village of Watlington was the start of a whole new life for fourteen-year-old Kitty and her entire family.  This is a story of overcoming and how a community rallied together to help their friend and neighbor.  Pair this with other food stories like Ruth Reichl's My Kitchen Year: 136 Recipes that Saved My Life and Ten Tomatoes that Changed the World by William Alexander.
