My name is Kitty and I am a first and foremost a baker. I can’t quite believe I am writing an Author bio as I still can’t quite believe I’m an author. I started baking at 14 when I got very ill with depression and anxiety and had to leave school. One loaf led to four led to forty and soon I was running a subscription service and then a pop up bakery. All of this was done with my Dad, Al who left his work as a teacher to bake with me. Today we run a shop called The Orange Bakery in Watlington, Oxfordshire and make everything from walnut and fig sourdough to deconstructed snickers cookies. I am so lucky because customers queue up outside and I get to feed them snacks as they wait. I’m a feeder. Our book Breadsong is about the last four years and how our lives changed so drastically. It’s also about the amazing people in Watlington who helped us, my family who were beside me at the worst of times and a very demanding corgi called Scout.
Thank you for thinking about buying it.
Kitty
