Bonjour! One of the things I miss the most from living in Paris are the baguettes. Fresh baked every morning, you could pick one up for less than a euro and they would be the best bread you have ever even. Until recently, we’ve been getting our baguettes from La Brea Bakery, an infamous bakery here in Los Angeles. They have wonderful bread and baked goods, but of course it’s more American french bread than the bread off the streets of Paris.
But then a wonderful thing happened. I stumbled across the Normandie Bakery at the Farmers Market at the Grove. Chef Josette, the owner, is from Normandie, France and her baguettes are the best I’ve had in Los Angeles! The bread is just right, with the thinnest crispy crust and a soft center. If you’re in the area, try it – along with all the other things they have to offer!
