Peter Mayle made his first entry about Oz's bakery in 1988, while collecting material for his future bestseller A Year in Provence. After the publication of the novel, visitors began to frequent the bakery. They needed more than just bread: they wanted to get recipes and learn the master’s secrets in order to try to recreate the magnificent creations of Gerard Hauzé in their own kitchens. You will find all this in “Confessions of a Baker.” You will learn funny stories about bread, get acquainted with the history of the Oze bakery, get a lot of useful tips and, perhaps, learn how to bake delicious baguettes with a crispy crust no worse than the master himself does. In addition, you will learn what truly fuels the joy of life, because the French are unsurpassed masters of this.
