We have been following Kitty and Al's journey with wonder and amazement.

A wonderful exploration around the seemingly (and often not so) simple process of making bread and how it can help to heal and restore. Breadsong is truly inspiring and will no doubt encourage everyone to bake, for both their mind and their mouth -- Flora Sheddon

Kitty Tait and her Dad Al live in Watlington, Oxfordshire and between them run the Orange Bakery. From the most original flavoured sourdough (miso and sesame, fig and walnut) to huge piles of cinnamon buns and Marmite and cheese swirls, the shop sells out every day and the queues stretch down the street. In 2018, Kitty was at school and Al worked at Oxford University, but when Kitty became so ill she couldn't leave the house, the two discovered baking and, in particular, sourdough. Chronicled in Kitty’s Instagram @kittytaitbaker they went from a small subscription service to pop-ups to a shop – all in two years. Along the way Kitty got better, a Corgi got involved and Al realised that he was now a baker not a teacher.
