“In this great work of more than 2,600 pages, Myhrvold presents us with an itinerary through the different aspects of bread: culture, history, science, gastronomic applications, its methods of preparation, etc.; that is, everything that constitutes the world of bread from all possible perspectives. An authentic prism, an atlas of bread, a bible, an encyclopedia that leaves little to be explained”
