Brian Hartz Europain: Day 4
Written by Brian Hartz   
mark_pennington_europainMarch 10, 2009, PARIS – My last day at Europain was a success as I had a long conversation with Mark Pennington (pictured), Barry Callebaut's regional gourmet sales manager for western Canada. Mark had been in Europe since March 1 as part of a special pre-show tour Callebaut organized for around 20 of its customers in the Vancouver area. The tour included two days in Brussels, Belgium, visiting local pastry shops and chocolatiers, as well as Callebaut's production facility there.

Brian Hartz Europain: Day 2
Written by Brian Hartz   
March 8, 2010, PARIS – The highlight of Day 2 was undoubtedly the dinner party at Musee des Arts Forains, which is a kind of interactive museum of carnival rides and games combined with a gourmet banquet hall usually reserved for corporate events. In this case, it was a celebration of Europain and its guests from around the world. I enjoyed a conversation with Pamela Mazurk, associate publisher of Chicago-based Industria Alimentica; Alfredo Nolasco-Meza of Spyral in Mexico; and a couple of Iranian bakers, Hossein Foroughni and Amir Khataei. The rest of the crowd was mainly French-speaking, so we North Americans gravitated toward each other, and the Iranians speak English much better than French. It was enjoyable extolling the virtues of Canada to the Iranian delegation; they asked lots of questions and generally seemed excited about the possibility of doing business with Canadian companies.

Brian Hartz Europain: Day 1
Written by Brian Hartz   
March 6, 2010, PARIS – First, the weather report: It's cold. REALLY cold. When I stopped for a crepe and "vin chaud" (hot wine) this evening after touring Notre Dame cathedral, the vendor said I'd brought the cold weather with me from Canada. I told him it wasn't nearly this cold in Toronto. Seriously, my hopes of seeing Paris in springtime have pretty much been destroyed.

Brian Hartz Hammer time
Written by Brian Hartz   
Feb. 23, 2010 – These are halcyon days for Ontario's Steel City. It didn't become the new home of the Phoenix Coyotes after Jim Balsillie's failed bid last year to buy and move the troubled NHL franchise there, but Hamilton, Ont., is in the spotlight thanks to Canada Bread and Woody Harrelson's new film, "Defendor."

Brian Hartz Bring on the paczkis
Written by Brian Hartz   
paczki_webJan. 27, 2010 – I don’t know about you, but now that this unusual January thaw seems to be over, it’s back to the winter blahs for me. I suppose I need to appreciate winter more.

 If you’re stuck in a rut, experiencing cabin fever, or just want to drum up a little more business between now and spring, why not try adding the Polish delicacy known as paczki (pronounced “poonch-key,” “pooch-key” or “punch-key,” depending on whom you ask) to your display case. In going through back issues to gather information for our upcoming 70th anniversary issue, I came across quite a bit of marketing material from the mid-1990s that focused on paczkis as a way for bakers to boost their profits during the run-up to Lent.
