A Humble Beginning (1990s – England)

In the golden autumn of the 1990s, tucked between ivy-covered stone cottages in a quiet English village, a young baker named Margaret Whitmore opened her doors for the first time. She called her little bakery Oven & Wheat a simple name that spoke to everything she cherished: the warmth of the hearth and the honest beauty of the finest grain.

Each morning before dawn, Margaret would tie her flour-dusted apron and begin the ritual that would define her life. Hand-kneading dough, milling her own wheat, and baking with techniques passed down from her grandmother's weathered recipe book.

“It’s not just bread you taste it’s her heart in every bite.”

Today, Elena Whitmore, Margaret's granddaughter, carries the flame across oceans and generations. After apprenticing with master bakers from Paris to San Francisco, Elena returned with new techniques and global inspiration but never forgot the foundation her grandmother laid.

Under Elena's hands, Oven & Wheat has become something both timeless and revolutionary: a bridge between the old world and the new.
