About Rachel Shenk

From birth & childhood in Belgium, with detours to Spain and Scotland, through my years as an artisan baker in a small midwestern U.S. town, there are stories to tell, small details to observe. I’m now a cheesemonger & I sell bread & pastries. I’m a traveler, a lifelong reader, & a block printer. You’ll find me here: https://substack.com/@labonnevie
