Rye Bread: A Secret to a Happy Marriage

We are so excited for this new memoir about Michaele Weissman and her 40+ year marriage with John Melngailis, our founder, and his deep(er?) love for rye bread. You can get a sense of the book in this Nosher article by Michaele, the publisher's summary, or via the praise and reviews listed below.

“I closed the last pages with tears in my eyes for the gift of these complex histories, this compelling love story—and a determination to find the best rye bread in town.” —Lauren Francis-Sharma, author of Book of the Little Axe

“A captivating memoir. At once honest, relatable, and endearing. Michaele Weissman affirms that we are all more connected than we think. With a little bit of humor and a lot of grace, Weissman makes the case that marriage is an emotional continuum, and love is just one end of it.” —Pati Jinich, New York Times bestselling cookbook author and host and executive producer of PBS’s La Frontera and Pati’s Mexican Table

“This book is a love letter, one that explores relationships and marriage. It’s a book about the history and the beauty of bread. But most important it is a courageous book about the complexity of love.” —Mark Fursternberg, James Beard Foundation’s Outstanding Baker of 2017 and owner of Bread Furst Bakery
