Bread Furst was preceded by two Washington bakeries, Marvelous Market which opened in 1990 and then The Breadline in 1997. But for one reason and a few others, by 2010 there was no neighborhood bakery in Washington.

What Now?

Note: We have (finally) revised our Breadfurst.com Website. I hope you find it useful and attractive. If during the pandemic you have continued to shop at Bread Furst and to step inside the bakery, you know how much we have changed. Not only because we have been packaging all our foods in cellophane bags. The biggest change […]

Uptown Market

At 7 am today we got a new neighborhood food store. Inspections were passed; staff were being trained; products delivered and recipes retested; shelves are being stocked. It’s Uptown Market just across the street from us and I think it will be a major addition to our neighborhood. “Our neighborhood?” What is our neighborhood? We […]

Cokie Was Unique

I don’t remember exactly when we met. I arrived in Washington in 1961 immediately after college and went to work for her mother’s cousin, Howard K. Smith, the radio and television commentator. Cokie’s sister, Barbara, was my friend; Cokie was Barbara’s younger sister, still in college. I spent a lot of time that summer at the […]

A Few Days of Bliss

From time to time during the wet summer heat of Washington I wondered why nature made summer the best time to eat. Many days here are so hot and the air so heavy that we don’t feel like eating some of the most wonderful foods that exist like pork shoulder or roasted potatoes or desserts […]

Even so I shouldn’t allow the moment to pass without thanking you. We opened Bread Furst believing it would be successful. Of course. It’s pretty foolish to risk so […]

Autumnal Thoughts

From time to time I make notes for a book I will never write. It would be called Ten Inventions That Ruined the World. Some of them, I would have to confess, like the automobile, have redeeming qualities even though the automobile has ruined the world. Others like television have no redeeming qualities at all. […]

Cooking to Buff

It’s unseemly, my grandmother would have said, to be obsessed about body weight – although she certainly was obsessed with hers. It’s true; it is unseemly, especially for someone of my age. But I am. As I have spent much of the summer alone in Hardwick, Vermont working on a book, and as I know […]
