About the author
Meg
Ray is a self-taught baker, the best-selling author of
Miette, and the chef and owner of San Francisco's most
charming pastry shop by the same name. Miette
has impeccable cakes that are traditionally American
& birthday-party perfect. A modern interpretation and the finest,
unrefined ingredients available have made Miette one of
the top ten pastry shops in the world, according to Conde
Nast.
Several years ago, Meg’s life changed when she was
invited to the Swedish island of Rodlogo, an island with no running water or
electricity. While there, she fell in love with the people, traditions, foods,
and a small cafe, which specialized in breads and sandwiches. Every year she
returns to Rodlogo to work at that small cafe, absorbing classic recipes,
methodologies, and traditions of the area. Meg spends most of her time in
California, except for her summers, which are dedicated to her favorite
bakeshop in Sweden.
