'The definition of a friend is someone you should share bread with.' 🍞

Last night, at the Hive Collective Network meetup , Alex (Today Bread owner) explained how he has used bread as a tool for communication in workshops and has written books about it.

He first became passionate about bread when working in a design studio next to e5 Bakehouse and began to bake and sell sourdough from his apartment.

He told us about how he used Crowdfunding successfully to buy his first oven when he opened Today Bread in Walthamstow, and how he engraved the oven with the names of everyone who donated money.

During the panel discussion, Alex and Caroline (The Every Space) reflected on what they have learned about setting up businesses and expanding to other sites. They both agreed that now is the hardest time for small business owners.

Alex finished by talking about his visits to Ukraine with .for.ukraine and how he still loves making and sharing bread with those who need it.

Thanks to Nat Harrison | ADHD Career Coach and Bernadette Baksa for inviting Alex to be on the panel.

Not to be dramatic, but salads are having a moment at Today Bread. 🥗

We know when the weather heats up, there's nothing more refreshing for lunch than a crisp salad with fresh ingredients. Which is why we've introduced our summer salad menu.

Today's salad: The Greek Goddess

This Mediterranean lunch break in a bowl has pearl barley, crunchy veggies, baby spinach, creamy feta & Kalamata olives, dressed with a tangy honey, olive oil & red wine vinegar dressing.

Pop in and try it before we sell out! Available at our Walthamstow and Clapton cafes

Hey folks, I’m back in Mykolaiv, Ukraine, for this year’s visit to .for.ukraine ’s little bakery and team. 🇺🇦

This will be my fourth trip and I’m always grateful to see such enthusiasm, experience, and such a feeling of community, even in the most challenging circumstances. 

Sadly, the Swiss army truck we had as our Mobile Bakery is broken (it must be about 75 years old and I’m sure it has been well used), but we have a new bakery next to it in the DOF Centre with two small electric ovens. We’re using all the same traditional Ukrainian recipes to prepare breads, which are delivered twice weekly to the surrounding villages. 

We’ve baked about 250x breads over two days and are delivered them all to two villages about 1-2 hours away in the Kherson region. This is literally the bread basket of Ukraine, with miles and miles of wheat (and other) fields, with villages sprinkled between them. This area was initially invaded by Russia and then invaded again in the middle of the Ukrainian counter-offensive, so they have been very affected by the conflict (think power lines cut, fields full of mines, no water, etc).

When delivering, most of the people we meet are elderly and living in incredibly tough conditions (for example no shop at all and the next village is miles away on difficult roads). So to them, a loaf of bread isn’t just nourishment, but it reminds them that they haven’t been forgotten.

Thank you for supporting .for.ukraine charity and helping us get bread to those who need it most. “Changing the world one loaf at a time.”
