THE TALE OF STEPHANIE FROM "BROOD" BAKERY

Of all of our portraits, this is sure to be the sweetest one. One cold morning we were awakened by the most delicious smell. We could only follow our noses as if we were under some kind of spell. Impossible to stop, it led us straight to the cutest bakery shop. And so we spend the morning in the wonderful company of the owner of “brood” bakery.

Hair as golden as pastries, and a heart as generous as a croissant, Stephanie welcomed us warmly and offered us to try “Anything you want!”.  We tasted her viennoiseries, all perfectly aligned. And let us tell you, they were all just divine.

She later showed us how everything is made with love. She weighed the flour, kneaded the dough and shaped her breads like a true artisan. We heard the sourdough rise and the baguettes sing, while the oven was baking and customers came in. Such a hartwarming scene to behold, that we almost forgot about the first autumn cold.
