The idea that there are no real bakers around to bake and even fewer real down home bakeries got me thinking; a paradigm shift needs to occur now, right now. We need bakers, really great bakers, not folks who are going to prepare those God awful pastries sold at Panera and A... (read more) Author: Denay Davis
