Baker D Chirico

A good review of Daniels wonderful Bakery can be found at this link

Wonderful Bakery, Wonderful Bread!


Just a tiny retail space but choc full of wonderful baking

No refrigeration here..but everything sells so fast there is no need!


One way to alleviate the storage problem is to stack the flour in the retail area!

Quiet in the day this is a crazy area at night!

Why this blog.....

My photo
January to March 2009. I was on Professional Development leave from my teaching Job at the Culinary Institute of Vancouver Island Universtity. I chose to take a 3 month leave to visit bakeries and teachng institutions in Australia. Thank you to VIU and my union (BCGEU) for supporting this venture. The aim of this blog was to keep an ongoing diary of my experiences and share them with my students and colleagues. This sure beats coming up with a report and slide show months later. I mean "FRESH" is what baking is all about! Learned to bake back in 1978....making granola...but that is another story. .
