Eclair Pastries: Growing Up In My Family's Iconic Berkeley Bakery 1947-1973 - Paperback

ECLAIR PASTRIES is the story of an immigrant family disrupted by the Holocaust, arriving in America with nothing but baking skills and treasured recipes, who through hard work achieved the American Dream.

Growing up in the family's bakery was a continuous joy for Peter Goodman. He worked there from grammar school through graduate school until his parents retired in 1973. Peter chronicles virtually all of the family's bakery history, including Berkeley, California's exciting times, from the Silent Generation to the Free Speech Movement to People's Park. The book is illustrated with exquisite European pastries and recipes, plus stories, humor, yarns, quotes from his parents, and scores of photos.
