introductions

My name is Brittany and I make up one half of Ava Rose.  The other half is my soon to be husband, Daniel.

We are getting married in two months, and obviously have been discussing our future a lot more than usual.  Where will we live?  How many kids will we have? What will we do?  There are a few notable things that are constant in these conversations.  One, we want to open a bakery together, and two if we have a daughter we will name her Ava Rose, hence the name of this blog.  No, Im not expecting a baby girl, or any child for that matter, but as we start to imagine this life we are about to create with one another, we would like to have our journey documented so that one day, our daughter Ava can see how much love we put into our life and our family bakery.  And if we dont have a daughter someday, Daniel and I will use this blog to hopefully celebrate the continued success we find in our love together and soon...our business.

Daniel is an extremely talented chef who has worked at some of the greatest restaurants in SF.  And no, Im not exaggerating.  Daniel has fine tuned his craft at Foreign Cinema, Greens, Blue Barn, Tipsy Pig and Umami.  Daniel is lucky enough to love what he does, and even more lucky to be great at what he does.  Daniel's passion for food has undoubtably rubbed off on me.  Obviously its easy to love food, but its another to be passionate about food.  He has been in magazines, newspapers, and even t.v., none of which he would ever want me to tell you.  Where we really connect however is baking.  Baking is what gave Daniel his start in the culinary world, and am finding that one of my favorite things to do is open a beer (or three) and just bake.
