Recipes

La Brea Bakery creates and curates artisan bread-centric recipes for daily dinners, brunches and entertaining. 

Grilled Cheese Grown-Up

There’s a reason everyone loves a good grilled cheese sandwich: it’s one of the few foods that isn’t just about taste, but is also evocative of childhood comfort food. While we believe simplicity goes a long way, we’re not ones to shy away from an elevated bite of nostalgia.

Behind the Scenes

We are always hard at work developing recipes in preparation for our photo shoots, but sometimes they just present themselves.
