Edible Ojai – an interview with Ben about baking – by Quin Shakra

I think Quin Shakra (of the great local Mano Farm and organic seed company All Good Things Organic Seeds) did a wonderful job on this interview with me – in the current (Summer 2013) issue of Edible Ojai & Ventura County magazine. He and photographer Tanja Korvenmaa spent much of a Saturday afternoon and evening documenting my weekly bread baking and discussing the multiple stages of creating and baking sourdough bread.

Hope you’ll enjoy it. And let me know any thoughts or questions it brings up. Ben

About Ben DiGregorio

I come from a family of bakers and cooks, originating in Sicily. I worked with my father for many years in the family baking business in Brooklyn, NY, where he taught me the complexities of yeast-raised dough, sour-doughs, Danish, coffee cakes, puff paste, choux paste, etc., as well as an array of Italian, French and other European breads. In addition to a wide range of entrees, I specialize in bread, home-made pastas, smoked meats and pastries
