love this baker story so much
The New Yorker timed the hell out of this very beautiful story, Baking Bread In Lyon, last week when it seemed like everyone on lockdown was taking their feelings out on the global yeast supply, but it’s 1000% worth a read even without the transportive pastoral oh-to-be-strolling-by-the-River-Saône vibes throughout the piece.
The plot revolves around writer Bill Buford’s apprenticeship and friendship with a French baker named Bob, and what follows is such a tenderly told story about craft, pride, ~terroir,~ and the difference between hospitality as sanctioned by Michelin stars vs. the kind you get when you know exactly where your food comes from and who’s made it. It’s the most unsnobby story about French gastronomy you’ll ever read, and heaven help ya if it doesn’t make you wanna just rip into a fresh loaf or two afterward.
