Michael Berger, one of the partnerS, will tell us all about it – including what “Puppatella” means;
• Yael Krigman is a genius baker, and her Baked by Yael in Woodley Park is a temple of deliciousness. She creates hand-rolled and boiled bagels, award-winning cake pops, mouth-watering challah, yummy black and white cookies, rugelach and … way more;
• And speaking of pizza … again … Jordan Fainberg loves it so much that he went to Italy in search of a great pizza that could be baked, sold frozen and and baked again at home. What he found was pinsa. Yes, it’s a thing, and he tells us all about it.
