The story behind my passion

I am the founder of Loafing Around LLC; a boutique bakery business located in Wakefield RI. I am a member of the Bread Bakers Guild of America, the Northeast Grain-Shed and the James Beard Foundation. I consider myself to be a food artist, flavor scientist, food memory ambassador, food insecurity activist and small farm supporter. 

Individual loaves of sourdough will include heritage or heirloom grain which I may sometimes mill. Other products which I offer include; cookies, brownies, cakes and cheesecakes. I approach my baking as a visual artist; painting my dough canvas with a variety of spices, grains, cheeses, fruits, vegetables and edible flowers.

HISTORY

My love of cooking was a gift from my mom, who consistently created meals which reflected her love of food and family. When raising my son, I continued the tradition by feeding both his belly and his soul.  Now as a small business owner. I offer my beloved patrons to a variety of baked goods, which align with my mission to provide unique, delicious and environmentally conscious foods.

MISSION

The mission of Loafing Around is to offer products which focus on healthy, unique, delicious and compassionate foods for the discerning palate. Every product is created with a dash of creativity whisked with the finest ingredients-creating food which brings the heart of communities together. 

FUTURE PROJECTS

I am looking to facilitate more Interfaith bread projects and teach the art of baking. I have two books in mind to write: How Bread Saved my Life and Who said you Can't?
