Have you had that sad looking end of bread for a while? It went stale so fast you had only eaten half?Despair not; help is at hand.....
While working in the Mockingbird Bakery in Greenwood Mississippi Charlotte Bosanquet met and ate with Chef Benji Perkins. He had recently finished culinary school and she art school and they came up with the idea that we were going to make a cook booklet that had recipes and drawings, using old bread as the starting point. This is the result of a collaboration of a chef and an artist and 3 months work. The foreword is by LeAnne Gault.
Charlotte Bosanquet is an artist based in Glasgow Scotland and was working as a cake decorator in Mockingbird Bakery in Greenwood Mississippi. Benji Perkins is from the Mississippi and has been working in Mockingbird for one year after returning from Phoenix where is studied Arizona Culinary Institute in 2001.
