You have written great comments on what exactly makes the perfect croissant. We just visited James Beard Award Winner Zu Bakery in Portland, Maine. Wish you could have tasted theirs! To use your words, “that unmistakable smell of deeply-toasted, caramelized-crunchy beurre.”
I don't know why you don't look like James Beard before he was put on diets. I would croak if that kind of array were placed before me on a regular basis. Bad enough to eat what I bake myself....
Hello! I am listening now! Love your podcast! I’m really enjoying meeting this younger generation of bakers.
But seriously femt the generational gap when Ali didn’t know Get Smart which was regular after-school TV for me in the 80s! Loved hearing about your mom’s BF in Pittsburg!
French boulangeries, i think, don’t only bake in the morning. There are usually three fournées of bread (matin, midi, soir) & a second fournée of viennoiserie whenever school kids get out!
Looking forward to next episode! Thanks so much for new platform !

This was so fun to listen to! I'm a big fan of winner, in very large part because of Ali Spahr's insanely good pastries.
What is that little dark round cake thing in the photo? I want one right now.
It's her Coffee Coffee Cake : )
Yummers. Thank you, David.
