Dee Rettali: Baking with Fortitude

This week, Gilly talks the politics and culture of cake and bread
with craft baker at Fortitude Bakehouse, Dee Rettali who was one of
the first people to bring biodynamic, organic foods to London in
the mid '90s. She's also made cakes for Madonna and Prince
Charles, so famed is she for the sustainability
and craft she puts in the mix. She founded Patisserie
Organic in 1998 and her Soho-born coffee and sandwich
shop Fernandez & Wells blazed a trail way before the
boho bakeries and hipsters made real bread cool. Her book, Baking
with Fortitude takes its name from her bakery chain, Fortitude
Bakehouse but decribes a woman with grit in her belly.
