Today’s guest is Apollonia Poilâne, the third-generation baker and CEO of the legendary Parisian boulangerie Poilâne. Apollonia joins host Jessie Sheehan to share her extraordinary journey—from taking over the family bakery at just 18 years old to honoring and evolving a legacy that dates back to 1932. 

The duo dive into her life growing up between French and American cultures, the creative influence of her parents, and the secrets behind Poilâne’s world-famous miche and sablés. Plus, they talk about her cookbook, her love for art, and how she’s bringing timeless tradition into the future.
