It is always the same ritual: first, the dragging of the chair, the open cupboard, flour, sugar, utensils arranged on the worktop, apron worn, sleeves rolled, eyes open, two sets of hands ready to knead. This is a story of a collaboration between a grandmother and her granddaughter as they set off to co-create the baking of the famous Irish soda bread.
