In a small hamlet in the Swiss alps, a young boy trudged the mountains pulling a sleigh full of bread to be delivered to the villagers. The boy grew up watching his father bake bread, Swiss tortes, and fine pastries for the surrounding villages. Eventually as a young man, he came to America.

Max Eggimann, Master Baker, lives and bakes in Pocatello, Idaho.
