Leslie Mackie opened Macrina Bakery & Cafe in Seattle in 1993 and was among the first wave of Americans experimenting with recipes from European master bakers and a long, slow fermentation process. Mackie rediscovered the craft's traditional, almost spiritual importance. This new book has more of Mackie's irresistible, artisanal breads, including flatbreads and an emphasis on traditional Italian breads. The reader will also find cakes, cookies, pies and other sweets and savouries that devoted customers love. Mackie is deeply rooted in the Puget Sound community and treasures the relationships she has with customers, employees and producers. Stories of some of her favourite people are sprinkled throughout the book.
