Sam Fromartz is Editor in Chief of the Food and Environment Reporting Network (FERN). His interest in food isn’t limited to the academic or mud-raking, however. He grew up on the great rye breads made in his native Brooklyn and has been a devoted bread baker for decades. His passion for crusty artisan breads collided with his journalistic career several years ago to send him on a three year journey around the world in search of the perfect loaf.

In this Deep Roots Radio interview, Sam talks about the explorations that resulted in his new book “In Search of the Perfect Loaf: a Home Baker’s Odyssey.”
