Blessed with Bread

The importance of bread speaks to national values of community, tradition, quality and above all - religion. In this edition of Heart and Soul, Australian-Japanese food writer Emiko Davies takes a culinary journey in the spiritual significance of bread in Italy, her adopted home.
