This is not something that I'm doing in my spare time in my home kitchen. That won't work where I live.
New York City has been my home for the vast majority of my life, and that's when I bake. And cook. I do a lot of cooking simply to feed my family. My 14-year-old son is already a beautiful lean 6'3", still growing, still feeding.
The commercial kitchen I work in is located just north of Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. They have the kitchens, refrigerators and ovens I need to make all the pies and baked goods in large enough quantity to make a business but not too large to affect the quality.
I want to make sure that each and every one of our baked goods have been received a lot of tender care and individual attention.
In this blog I will be posting new recipes, chronicling this adventure of starting a bakery in New York City, as well as my everyday life of a 50+ mom/woman/wife. Hope you stay for the ride and enjoy quite a bit of pie along the way.
