Rise Up! #196 - Natasha and Ed Tatton

Rise Up! #196 - Natasha and Ed Tatton

Author: Mark Dyck: Baker and lover of bakeries November 7, 2023 Duration: 1:07:01

Ed and Natasha Tatton have been building an outstanding, 100% plant based bakery in Whistler, BC for several years, and have just launched a stellar cookbook from the bakery.  The book is both approachable and very detailed, explaining the intricacies and advantages of vegan baking while bringing Ed's incredible flavour combinations to each recipe. 

In this Episode, Mark talks with Natasha and Ed to learn about what's been happening at Ed's Bred since Ed was on the show in 2021, the challenges of writing a book and testing recipes while keeping the business running, and why plant based baking is no longer just a fringe 'alternative' option.

Behind every great bakery is a story, often one of flour-dusted perseverance and the sweet taste of community. Rise Up! The Baker Podcast with Mark Dyck pulls up a stool in the kitchen to hear those stories directly from the source. Hosted by Mark Dyck, a baker himself with a deep affection for the craft, each conversation goes beyond recipes to explore the real heart of the business. You’ll hear from bakers and shop owners across North America and around the globe, sharing candid details about the long nights, the failed experiments, and the eventual triumphs that define a life in bread and pastries. This podcast is built on the understanding that a bakery is more than a retail space; it’s a gathering point, a source of daily comfort, and a testament to skilled hands. Listening feels like being part of a warm, insightful chat between professionals who live for the oven’s heat and the customer’s smile. The dialogue naturally covers the intersection of art and entrepreneurship, revealing how passion is shaped into a viable livelihood. Through these personal narratives, a larger picture emerges about the profound, simple satisfaction found in feeding your neighborhood. It’s for anyone who has ever felt the pull of a crusty loaf or wondered about the life behind the counter.
