This past Friday, January 8th, I went to the CBC studios in Ottawa to be interviewed live on C’est ça la vie. Fun, fun, fun! They invited me on the show to talk about what I do: bake bread with folks in their homes.
I brought a bit of bread that I had the night before. Actually, it was early that morning. I had just returned home from a day long shoot for a still-secret-as-yet-unsigned-new-food TV show. It was one in the morning and I was booked for a 6:30 a.m. train. I checked my e-mail just before hitting the sack. Bad idea…Sarah the friendly researcher from the show wrote me to ask if I could please bring some bread with me for the interview, the host was insisting on having something yummy to show on camera during the interview. All right then. Lucky I had some dough in the fridge. Equal parts AP and Moulin Légaré 85% whole wheat. Yummy, yummy. So I shaped it into sticks (rolled in a blend of fennel, sunflower, cumin, sesame, and poppy seeds) and cute round buns. I also made square English muffin-looking breads cooked on a griddle. Nice! Okay, now it was time for bed, or else I was gonna look like a zombie on camera.
Philippe Schnobb, the host of the show, seemed genuinely fascinated with the breads and the fact that they can be (and were) made at home in a regular oven, with no specialized equipment. That’s right Mr. Schnobb, anybody can make nice bread at home!
If you’ve got a moment, please check out the clip.
Ce vendredi 8 janvier, je me suis rendu à Ottawa, aux studios de
Radio-Canada pour une entrevue en direct à l’émission C’est ça la vie. Quel plaisir! Ils m’ont invité pour jaser de ce que j’aime beaucoup, beaucoup faire : boulanger avec les gens dans leur cuisine à la maison. Si vous avez un p’tit moment, allez voir le clip [click to continue...]

J’ai visité le Moulin Légaré à Ste-Eustache. Tellement cool! Érigé en 1762, ce moulin n’a pas cessé de produire de la farine d’une qualité exceptionnelle depuis tout ces années! J’ai eu le plaisir de rencontrer Daniel le meunier qui travaille là depuis plus de vingt ans. Quelle expertise et quelles connaissances! J’ai fait des pain naan épicés avec la farine blé entier tamisée à 85% et j’ai obtenu des superbes résultats.
Okay, so I went to the oldest functioning flour mill in North America the other day. Wow! The Moulin Légaré in Ste-Eustache was built in 1762 and has been milling flour ever since. The current miller there is a very friendly and knowledgeable fella named Daniel. Check it out!
I bought a bag of the 85% Blé Entier flour. Ooohh, lovely! Gorgeous colour and great taste! I made spiced naan breads with it and they turned out fantastic.

To date, Rebecca Anderson has raised over $8,200—much more than she had ever thought possible. Given that there is still time to raise money, and that there is never enough money for causes as important as this one, she now has her sights set on $10,000. To help her get there, we have put together a bread making class that we’ve dubbed Raising Dough for Cancer.
If you love food as much as we do, this event is for you! A fantastic cookbook store in Westmount, Appetite for Books, is hosting the three-hour class in their picture-perfect teaching kitchen, where I will share some recipes, including those for Boston Brown Bread, Mini Rustic Buns, Homemade Breadsticks, and a divine Chocolate Brioche. Served alongside the bread will be dips and sides by Vanessa Laberge, chef de cuisine at Olive+Gourmando, and a couple of nice glasses of wine (generously donated by Philippe Dandurand Wines) to wash it all down. If that wasn’t enough, each participant will take home a copy of one of my favourite cookbooks, Flatbreads and Flavours by Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid (Harper Collins Canada). Put it all together and you have the perfect recipe for an educational, scrumptious, entertaining and rewarding evening.
Tickets for Raising Dough for Cancer are $125 per person with a maximum of 10 participants. If you are interested in breaking bread with us, please contact Rebecca by email or call her at 515 524 9225.
If you simply want to make a donation, there’s still time: http://my.e2rm.com/personalPage.aspx?SID=2194899.
Thanks,
Marc-André and Rebecca

Surveillez l’émission télé L’Épicerie aux ondes Radio-Canada le mercredi 30 septembre à 19h30.
J’ai eu le plaisir de tourner un clip avec eux dernièrement sur le pain brun vapeur. Quel plaisir! M. Denis Gagné et toute l’équipe étaient si sympathiques et très professionels.
Vous trouverez ma recette de Boston brown bread dans la section Recettes. Laissez-moi savoir ce que vous en pensez!
Tune in to Radio-Canada’s L’Épicerie TV show on Wednesday, September 30 at 7:30 p.m.
I had the pleasure of filming a clip recently on steamed brown bread. What a pleasure! Denis Gagné and the whole crew were so friendly and very professional.
You’ll find my recipe for Boston brown bread in the Recipe section. Let me know what you think!
I’m really excited about a special bread baking workshop I’m trying to put together for sometime in September.
My dear friend Rebecca Anderson from Hello Darlin’ Productions has joined Team in Training in the hope of raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada and together with the friendly folks at Appetite for Books bookstore we’ve decided that a bread workshop could be a fun and tasty way to do some good.
The “Raising Dough for Cancer” workshop will feature a bunch of different bread recipes, some inspired by books available at the shop. With this demonstration workshop, I hope to demystify the bread baking process; I’ll cover some of the basics as well as show you some interesting techniques that will help you get started in home bread baking. It promises to be a pleasant evening talking about and tasting bread.
Proceeds from the evening will be donated to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada.
Check out Rebecca’s personal fund-raising page and see what it’s all about: http://my.e2rm.com/personalPage.aspx?SID=2194899.
More details available soon, so keep checking in to see where we’re at…
In the meantime, take a look at what Michelle and Jonathan are cookin’ up at the coolest bookstore in town:
