Gourmet's Diary of a Foodie

Bread: The Foundation of a Meal (2x3)

Air date: Jan 19, 2008

Bread: a simple staple at the center of almost any meal, on every table, across the globe. We'll travel through the bustling streets of Paris to learn the secret to a beautifully baked French loaf, and then head to Italy where an Italian baker shares the story of Tuscan bread. We'll also spend time in the Adirondack Mountains with a baker who sees bread as a way of life. Back in the Gourmet kitchen, we'll get a taste of a legendary recipe for savory brioche from Richard Bertinet.
