This only means something to ~3 people, but I have to put it in writing:

Peter Kapp (the “Artisan Boulanger”) is currently (until March ’26 for now) consulting at local bakery Brot & Salz in Mannheim. Which kind of means, Kapp™ bread is back!

For years it was *the* bread to get for basically any occasion, regardless of whether you’re eating dinner, throwing a party or supplying a restaurant. Then, only a few years ago, his bakery in Edingen Neckarhausen closed shop, almost overnight. It was a huge blow for people in the Mannheim, Heidelberg and Weinheim region, since quality bread offerings are sparse.

While we were running NORD, Peter Kapp was out only supplier of bread and was a major draw for the business. This is why I’m very happy to see him sort of un-retired and back in action. If you are in the area and can afford to spend a stop at Mannheim city center, pay Brot & Salz a visit. (I basically always get at least a Kastenweissbrot and a couple of Croissants (best in Mannheim) and Pain au Chocolat.)
