Cooking Basics

If you’re feeling a little sluggish after a long winter, you’re not alone. Now that it’s almost summer, we’re ready for a fresh start. 

When we’re not cutting into a fresh loaf of La Brea Bakery bread, you might find some of us at home baking our own breads and pastries. While it may be a bit counterintuitive to consider a bread brand sharing baking secrets, we love to celebrate the spirit of community that comes with baking.

La Brea Bakery is a group of people who are passionate—some would say, obsessed—with creating exceptional artisan breads. It‘s why we find carefully sourced, top-quality ingredients, used according to recipes and processes that have been perfected over generations.

You’ve swirled and sniffed your wine to evaluate the flavor, thumped and squeezed your produce to judge ripeness.

For many, it’s the most blissful meal of the week: Lingering over a decadent brunch. But what about the other six days of the week?

With summer coming to an end, we can start to look forward to cooler temperatures and fall fruits and vegetables. Although you can easily source most produce year-round, they do have peak seasons in the year when they are at their prime.
