LOCALLY MADE
Jim Lahey left art school to learn the secrets of Italy’s best bakers. He opened Sullivan Street Bakery in New York’s SoHo in
1994 to bring high-quality, slow-rise-fermentation Italian bread to America. The popular bakery later relocated to Manhattan’s
West Side and expanded its bread styles and menu; in 2009, Lahey opened an authentic Italian pizza restaurant, simply called
Co., nearby. His cookbook, My Bread: The Revolutionary No-Work, No-Knead Method (2009), launched a new homemade
bread movement and won praise from New York Times critic Mark Bittman and Martha Stewart. His new book, The Sullivan
Street Bakery Cookbook, is due out in November 2017. Sullivanstreetbakery.com
