In 1839, the Parisian press began to mention a new \"Viennese Bakery\" and its \"exquisite and crisp rolls\". Zang, its founder, had been an artillery officer and would become a press magnate. In his short time in Paris, he not only introduced the \"kipfel\" - the Austrian crescent roll - but techniques which would later make the baguette possible. This is a brief look at his bakery and its influence on French baking and at his later career as \"the father of the Austrian daily press\". This second edition includes a look at the rue de Richelieu and changes in Paris shops.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jim Chevallier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/05\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 94\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.23d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781448667840\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJim Chevallier's essay on the French eighteenth century breakfast is included in \"Consuming Culture in the Long Nineteenth Century\".
