We went on an amazing 4 x 4 trip awhile ago & stopping over in Knysna for a few day's we stumbled upon this beauty: ile de pain
What an amazing bakery-cafe. Liezie Mulder & Markus Farbinger have created, together, the unique culinary landscape that is ile de pain ("Island of Bread"). Their shared vision culminated in the opening of the bakery-cafe in Knysna, with it's wood-fired oven, in the Farbinger family tradition dating back to the 1700's.
We totally fell in love with this delectable little cafe & after tasting their lip-smacking fresh bread I just had to purchase a cd teaching you the art of making the real mccoy. French Artisan bread.
An estimated 5 hour process & I can't start explaining how much I love it. I think it's very therapeutic & the end process is so satisfying that I just want to start from scratch again. Instant gratification.
I will have to take some pictures on the next round, the bread disappears way to quickly, no time for a snap shot ... I blame Hubby ;-)
I have a new found love for bread ... and BUTTER! Who can resist a slice of hot fresh bread with a smeer of butter melting into it... YUM!
