Living Heritage Podcast Ep133 Kevin Massey of the Old Dublin Bakery

Kevin Massey, owner of The Old Dublin Bakery, moved to St. John's in 2004 and has been delighting our province with incredible pastry ever since. A graduate of the world's first ever BA degree program for Culinary Arts in Dublin, his professional pedigree still barely keeps up with his unrelenting talent to turn butter, sugar and flour into a life changing experience. Three kids and a few cats later, he took on the challenge of starting his own business. The Old Dublin Bakery might be traditional in name, but there is nothing old school about his flavours. The Bakery has since become a favorite at the St. John’s Farmer’s Market. In this episode, Kevin talks about experimenting in the kitchen with local ingredients and the key to great cinnamon buns. You can find The Old Dublin Bakery every Saturday the St. John's Farmer's Market, or on Facebook and Instagram.
