’ Pohl gave his approval.

Presentation was spare and colourful... .

Willi has the chops, all right. And the bloodlines.

The culinary arts run through his family trec. Aside from
his father, Willt’s sister Ursula is a chef an baker. She heads
Pohi’s astry division.

. Pohl’s family. has been involved in the baking trade § since
“1878. when Ulrich’s great grandfather opened a bakery i in.
Germany: .
Willi, however, i is not a keen baker.’

Too exacting an art, perhaps. :

And North Shore.to boot.

That’s a positive local feast on 1a host of fronts.
