Description

Today Annie brings you a conversation with Susan Walter about bread in France, and why bread is such an important piece of French culture and life. We talk a little bit about this history of bread and we agree on many things, including: What’s up with the obsession with finding the “BEST” baguette in France? Grab some toast, let’s talk bread!

And, something I didn't mention in the episode and I should have. If you don’t live close to a great bakery, you can buy several loaves, slice them the way you like them, put them in a bag and freeze them. When you need some, take it out of the freezer and pop the slices into the toaster. Baguette freezes really well and will taste fabulous that way.

Book Recommendation: Max Gallo, the Sun of Austerlitz, a good book about Napoleon.

Podcast Recommendation: Un bonbon sur la langue with Muriel Gilbert

My guest on today's episode has a blog called Days on the Claise, a good source of information about a part of France that's rarely discussed.
