I'm not at all a cook.

So don't fear, this is not going to be a cooking demonstration.

But I do want to talk to you about something

that I think is dear to all of us.

And that is bread -- something which is as simple

as our basic, most fundamental human staple.

And I think few of us spend the day

without eating bread in some form.

Unless you're on one of these Californian low-carb diets,

bread is standard.

Bread is not only standard in the Western diet.

As I will show to you, it is actually

the mainstay of modern life.
Translation - Portuguese
Eu não sou cozinheira.

Portanto, não se assustem, porque isto não vai ser
uma demonstração de cozinha.

No entanto, quero falar de algo

que acredito ser do interesse de todos nós.

O pão — algo tão simples

quanto a nossa base mais fundamental
de sustento humano.

E creio que poucos de nós passam um dia

sem comer pão sob qualquer forma.

A menos que estejam numa dessas dietas
californianas pobres em hidratos de carbono.

o pão é a norma.

Mas não é só na dieta ocidental
que o pão é norma.

Tal como vos mostrarei em seguida,
o pão é, na realidade,

o pilar da vida moderna.
