One loaf quickly escalated into an obsession and Kitty started to find her way out of the terrible place she was in.

FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Kitty Tait and her Dad Al live in Watlington, Oxfordshire and between them run the Orange Bakery. From the most original flavoured sourdough (miso and sesame, fig and walnut) to huge piles of cinnamon buns and Marmite and cheese swirls, the shop sells out every day and the queues stretch down the street. In 2018, Kitty was at school and Al worked at Oxford University, but when Kitty became so ill she couldnt leave the house, the two discovered baking and, in particular, sourdough. Chronicled in Kittys Instagram @kittytaitbaker they went from a small subscription service to pop-ups to a shop – all in two years. Along the way Kitty got better, a Corgi got involved and Al realised that he was now a baker not a teacher.
