KARI MORRIS, NEW YORK “One thing that always strikes me in New York City is the women. There is that certain kind of New York lady who has an impressively thick skin. The ones who have also managed to keep warmth in their hearts are the kind that truly inspire me. I decided to do Bread Exchange in New York because … Read More

Spring Maxfield

SPRING MAXFIELD, SANTA ROSA I was connected with Spring when I was in NY. I was told Spring is the spider in the net of Northern California food lovers. Imagine that, a secret food market based on trading (not money) in the most fertile foodie region in the USA. But Spring is so much more than that. She is the mother of … Read More

John Benjamin Savary

 JOHN BENJAMIN (BENNY) SAVARY, BERLIN I bumped into Benny on midsummer 2010. And his first comment to me was “Oh you are the Lady making the best bread I ever ate” and “I told my friend that I’m gonna marry this girl”. Benny probably had no clue it was midsummer that day – and that saying such a strong phrase to a Swedish … Read More

CHronicle

I think I have mentioned it before, but I never really had the idea to write a book about the Bread Exchange. I did enjoy writing on my blog, and I loved collecting stories through my project, but that was it. When the US publisher Chronicle books approached me in 2012 I was a bit reluctant. I knew their books, … Read More

 KHEIRA LINDER, SWEDEN I found Kheiras drawings on record covers of music that I liked on, hm, MySpace. It must have been 2006 and I was in Sweden to write my master thesis and tracks from Lars Kranholdt, or “This mess is mine”, was running warm on repeat. I wrote to her, she was German living in Berlin, and we ended up meeting. By now … Read More
