The La Brea Bakery Blog: Home For Artisan Breads and More

From New York City to San Francisco, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes have been popping up on menus at all of the top restaurants.

When most people think of Southern California, they think of sun-bleached beaches, rows of lanky palm trees lining the streets or even the Hollywood Sign. But us? We think of avocados.

La Brea Bakery was born in Los Angeles over 26 years ago from a passion for baking artisan bread.

I first came upon Michael Pollan after reading his book In Defense of Food almost 10 years ago. The book always stuck with me and became a guiding principle for how I would eat.

We like to think of ourselves as more than a bakery. We want to be a movement in the artisan baking industry.

The Fourth of July is rich with tradition, fun, and food.
