The author goes through his life and tells how he came to open a bakery in Maine. He relays how he learned the bread baking business and used the Golden Ratio to build it up, even in the planning of his bakery, Sophia. He tells how those he knows, including his son, became thinner and healthier through his diet. And he notes that his son was less ill afterwards, compared to years before. While bread may be the staple of Lazalotta's diet, it also includes traditional Mediterranean foods: vegetables, meat, nuts, wine, fish, and surprisingly, cheese. Although the author does push bread and wine, he promotes changing one's eating habits to actually lose weight. Listeners will be tempted by the various recipes, which aren't limited to vegans or meat eaters. The audio book is great, but I also recommend a book version for the kitchen shelf.

Lanzalatta narrates the audio version. His reading is mild in tone, but strong in conviction. Listening to this audio book had me running to my favorite Bistro for some of those fabulous breads. Pass this one on to your best of friends.
