About the name

There are many things I admire about my grandfather, but perhaps my favorite thing about him is his commitment to homemade bread. Almost everyday, he takes the time to make fresh dough from flour special ordered from San Francisco. His techniques are honed like ritual, mastered after years of dedication to a craft that requires a saint-like level of patience and humility. I trace my love of food, and my communication of love through it, to my grandfather, my Papere, and his commitment to his bread.
