Hi,
Hows your summer going?
This morning we had a visit from a Globe and Mail reporter and photographer, they came with some good questions and comments about our bakery and the role of bread in this post modern pre-meteroric collision era.
To summarize:
-The more sophisticated our tastes become the more we crave the primitive and elemental.
-A wide range of foods are available as close as your local grocery store and the selection is stupendous. So why does bread, with a ragged crust, dark from the blistering heat provide so much satisfaction for our gustatory senses? My own guess is that it has something to do with the Maillard Reaction, a process that occurs during baking that is similar to carmelization...but maybe it has to do with our sense of loss for the times when food was less about hype and politics and more to do with simple satisfaction and deeper, purer flavours.
Uh, yeah.
And so on and so forth... it was a fun exchange.
Anyway, we will be in an upcoming Saturday's edition in the "Globe T.O." pullout, available only in the Greater Toronto Area.
A link will be provided in a future post.
Ciao for now.
