still loving food lover's guide to portland!

for those of you who don't read liz crain's blog food lover's guide to portland, i recommend you start. there are lots of reasons that i love it, but i think it has my favorite balance of food and food related musings that extend into and beyond the kitchen. i am a lover of cooking and baking, gardening, traditional food ways, food adventures, local producers and eating well. she keeps me thinking about all of those things and more! 

she has written about the bakery before, but here is her latest installment featuring dovetail bakery! thanks liz! see you there!

ps remember when i had bangs!

Dovetail Bakery about to spread its wings: New retail location!

December 5th, 2009

I've got the scoop! The Dovetail Bakery scoop! Dovetail Bakery owner Morgan Grundstein-Helvey has some fabulous news.

I’m in the final edits stage of my book at the moment and in an effort to stay on the sunny side about the seemingly endless tedium it’s been great in the past few weeks to add some exciting new ventures to the pages of Food Lover’s Guide to Portland.

One that I’m very excited about is Dovetail Bakery’s soon to open retail location onNortheast Alberta Street. For years Dovetail has vended at farmers market and delivered wholesale only, with no retail location.

These lovely vegan baker ladies have been working around the clock the past few months to make the retail bakery happen and if all goes well Dovetail Bakery plans to ring in the new year and open shop on January 1st, 2010. The new Dovetail Bakery location has indoor and outdoor seating and plenty of bike parking in front.

Grand opening Jan. 1st, 2010!
