"Self-taught Swiss-French baker Nathas Kraus started La Belle Vie because when he moved to Phoenix, he could not find baguettes that met his standard outside of grocery stores. Now he bakes baguettes, viénnoiseries (bread and pastries made with yeast and enriched), financiers (almond cakes that traditionally were made in a small rectangular molds to denote a gold bar), and Canelés de Bordeaux (custard cakes)." - Asonta Benetti, Bahar Anooshahr
