A recent national feature from Allrecipes is spotlighting Cincinnati’s culinary expertise, with a local voice helping shape the conversation around baking from scratch.

Kevin Foston, owner of Makers Bakers Co., is among a group of professional bakers featured in the story, which explores which grocery store baking staples are better left on the shelf.
