Missing Willow Farm

Brian and I delivered a present to one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet today, Lionel Vatinet of La Farm Bakery.  When we lived in Cary, NC it was our favorite neighborhood business.  Who wouldn’t love an authentic french bakery within walking distance of their house?  Fast forward 5 or so years and we started running into Lionel at various food and wine festivals.  I was thrilled to surprise him with a mini representation of his business.  I’ve had the mini baker’s rack for about 30 years waiting on the perfect use.  I made the breads and pastries and that’s his cookbook ‘A Passion For Bread’.  I highly recommend it!  The very best part about this story is he ships the most amazing breads and pastries.  Make sure you check out his website  http://www.lafarmbakery.com
