Acme bread....there is a fun story behind the originator....he was in college, was it Stanford or Berkley. Making starters and breads in his dorm room....had the passion for baking. Started out at Chez Panisse and then moved on to his own bakery.
I'm trying to remember what year I had Acme bread at CP......it's been at least 15 years and I still remember the fresh searred off tuna nicoise salad with tiny olives on the table to nibble and this incredible chewy, crisp crust gorgeous bread.
Cafe Fanny's cookbook has kid recipes but the one that comes to mind is the granola.....and the fact that Fanny's mom spent an enormous amount of time/energy in packing her lunches. Many of us did for our children too, but Alice went way way beyond.....gotta love her. |
