Summary: If anything earns near religious devotion in France it’s bread. And in Paris, the marquee name in artisanal bread making has been Poilâne since 1932. Apollonia Poilâne, my guest today, represents the third generation of her family‘s business, one that revolutionized the role of bread in its beginnings and continues to innovate, remaining a beloved staple of both the French table and those in 40 countries around the world. Her first book in English has just hit bookshelves worldwide. Poilâne: The Secrets of the World Famous Bread Bakery offers recipes for morning, noon, and night, tips for bread making at home, and poignant commentary about growing up in a bakery and preserving her family’s legacy.
