☞ INTRODUCING: Hot Bread Kitchen

We wanted to find out more about Hot Bread Kitchen which is the bakery that will be one of the first to set up at East Harlem's La Marqueta and discovered this short documentary.  The organization was founded to help immigrant women develop culinary work skills and also revive the artisanal trade of bread making.  Many of the workers are from Central America and have also added their own recipes to the offerings at the bakery.  Looking at their website, they seem to have quite an assortment ranging from corn tortilla to Sephardic spiced-filled Challah: LINK.  This looks like it will be an amazing addition to East Harlem since it will provide training, jobs and actually ship traditional breads to local restaurants in the city.  In addition to the bakery, Manhattan's largest open air garden center also has plans to set up under the train viaduct at Park Avenue sometimes in the next couple of months: LINK
