Today is one of those days when I wish I was independently wealthy and didn’t have a job. If I were – I would purchase a ticket to the closest airport to Big Sur I could possibly find, maybe even tomorrow, and dine at the Big Sur Bakery along the Californian Coast. Honestly, I wouldn’t go today – because its January and they may or may not be open – but maybe the first week of June.
The Big Sur Bakery was recommended to me by Jenna or Eat Live Run who lives in the area of the Bakery now and loves this cookbook as well. I really was skeptical of how good a cookbook could really be. This sets the bar. A new plumb line for cookbooks.
Honest. Ingredients. Journal-type writing. Amazing breathtaking, simply want to make you run to whole foods and make everything recipes, and beautiful mouth-watering pictures – the type I only dream to one-day take.
They care about their friends and family, their local ingredients, and specializing in their craft. And don’t let the term “bakery” in the restaurant’s name fool you. They are about craftful baking, but they love their meat and potatoes as well. They even have a pork and beer night once a year, complete with fake pig snouts. Vegans not apply (that’s why I can’t go for eleven months).
So…do you need a good read by a fire-place? Pick this up. I may not have a fire going at this moment, but this has been an amazing 3 hour journey into the lives of the owners and lovers of the Big Sur Bakery.
Tax return money, pleae come quickly, so I can buy my own copy.
