Jonathan Stevens, baker, poet, author and owner of Hungry Ghost Bread in Northampton, Mass.

[EP209]
Published on: 28 August 2024

Jonathan Stevens new book, The Hungry Ghost Bread Book, is a throwback to the first wave of books on artisan baking in the 1990's.  And for good reason, because Jonathan has been part of the North American bread scene from the very beginning.

In this episode, Mark and Jonathan take a trip back to the early days in Northern California, figuring it out with Alan Scott, opening an opinionated bakery in Western Mass, telling stories, singing songs and writing poetry.  And through it all, reconnecting to the power of feeding people good bread day after day.
