The Bread and Butter Project

For a decade people have flocked to The Bourke Street Bakery for their rustic bread, gourmet pies, and mouthwatering sweets. Their first book, a definitive baking companion, was a runaway bestseller in Australia and overseas. Following this success, founders Paul Allam and Paul McGuinness joined forces with government and community groups to establish The Bread & Butter Project, an accredited social enterprise and wholesale bakery providing training and employment for refugees and asylum seekers - teaching them to be bakers.
