Swedish-born baker Malin Elmlid turned her passion for bread into a life-changing bartering project in which she travels the world trading her home-baked loaves—mouthwatering, inventive, soulful loaves—for heartfelt goods and meaningful encounters with new friends. The Bread Exchange follows her from continent to continent, where bread-hungry hosts await. Think brunch in Bavaria, a pop-up bakery in Kabul, a candlelit dinner in Egypt, and a rooftop party in Brooklyn. These lavishly photographed gatherings, plus styled food photography, charming personal narratives, and more than 50 recipes for bread and accompaniments make for an all-around enchanting package—an armchair journey for bread-lovers and an inspiring gateway for entry-level bakers.
