Bread is everyday and familiar, but A Book About Bread is exceptional and surprising. While it teaches you how to make the perfect baguette, it also brings bread baking back to its essence—understanding, feeling, and intuition. Accessible and without pretension.
About the author:
With French and Italian roots, Issa Niemeijer-Brown grew up in a tradition of home baking and an appreciation for quality and simplicity. He chose to become a baker after first graduating cum laude in sociology from the University of Amsterdam. After years of training at leading bakeries in the Netherlands, France, and Italy, Issa Niemeijer-Brown—initially together with his brother—founded an artisanal French bakery in the heart of Amsterdam in 2008: Gebroeders Niemeijer. Today, his bakery is internationally renowned for its croissants, patisserie, and bread.

“Insiders have long known: the best bread in Amsterdam and beyond is baked by Issa and his team.” – Cees Holtkamp
