Dan says "This Saturday16th April I’ll be speaking at “From Crop to Crust” conference, aiming to encourage more bakers to use the flour milled at their local windmills and watermills around Britain. Organised by The Society for the Preservation of Ancient Buildings, in association with the Traditional Cornmillers Guild and Sustain’s Real Bread Campaign, we’re hoping to tackle the issues that have made the connection between baker and miller problematic in the past: getting the flour that the baker wants to bake with and the miller is happy to mill, deliveries from short-staffed mills to busy small bakeries, getting customers to pay more for loaves that are made with hand-milled flours that struggle to compete in price with cheap flour from the supermarket"

This is wonderful.Thanks for suggesting someone so special. I particularly love the comments towards the end of the piece:

Simply, anyone who wants call themselves as an artisan baker can’t honestly do so without using at least some flour from a traditional cornmiller…otherwise you’re just hiding behind factory ingredients hoping no-one will notice. It’s time to come out and support the traditional mills that will help you make the best bread.
