I’ve never been to Simon’s bakery, but I was born a baker.
I haven’t seen Simon in years, but we were side by side for a year once.
I didn’t realize it then, but now I see he too was bread to bake.
I remember only one dish Simon made that wasn’t a 10/10. He threw it out.
I can hear him from here.
Simon Blackwell is a culinary perfectionist who begins every day/dish/product with love and the utmost pride and care
