I’m passionate about baking since I was a kid . One day my life changed when I had to move in Japan and quickly I was missing my “Pain de campagne” made by local artisan . It was my trigger ! Also I got a lot of interest on fermentation product like Cheese, Beer, Sauerkraut...and Bread ! Too Dedicated than I spent some time to study yeast and bacteria strains... my apartment became a lab ;)
