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!

sweetheart of the rodeo

marly

i know there have been a lot of introductions, but there is someone else who i promised to introduce and i'm sure you'll love her as much as we do. marly, sweetheart of the rodeo, queen of scones, lover of dogs, my musical kindred spirit, and soon-to-be birthday lady (it's tomorrow!). i feel so lucky that our little staff is made up of some of the best people a person could possibly hope to work with! marly was introduced to us by evan & ali of the little red bike where you can see her artwork in regular rotation on the specials chalkboard, and hanging on the walls (so beautiful!). what a gem! thanks for all your hard work marly! and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

we all think you are great!

hard at work

have you met lauren?


you should probably be introduced. she does a lot of baking for you. and maybe you don't know that because our radio reception is limited she listens to unhealthy amounts of opb. seriously. ask her anything. get to know your baker! thanks lauren for all the hard work!!!

love,
morgan

ps next time...marly!!!
