about

“Pain de campagne” is a type of traditional French bread that is made with natural yeast and baked into large, round loaves.  In the past, French villages had communal ovens where families would bring their dough to bake, and today, pain de campagne is available in most boulengeries across France.  The name translates literally to “country bread.”

Because bread is a fundamental food element for many cultures across centuries, this blog is dedicated to stories of cuisine–sometimes local, sometimes global–and the people and societies surrounding them.  Many of the food- or community-related stories have appeared in print in The Patriot-News, The Burg, or other sources.  They are used with permission.
