About the author: Frédéric Lalos is one of the youngest bakers to have been awarded the prestigious title of Meilleur Ouvrier of France, at the age of 26. After having worked as head bakery chef at Lenôtre, today, he runs several Parisian bakeries, Le Quartier du Pain. His bakeries, highly successful with the public and raved about in the press, are founded on respect for traditional baking craft. Great care is given of course, to the quality of their products, notably the flour used, its "traceability" (origins) and its rigorous selection. What is more, by opening up his bakery to curious onlookers, Frédéric Lalos has also created a close relationship of confidence with his customers.
