Midnight Bear Breads’ Pain Au Chacolat. Daniel Lane image.
Midnight Bear Breads has grown a lot since I first covered them in Dec. 2011. I’m convinced it has everything to to with their artisanal, handcrafted approach. I had a chance to catch up with owners Ursa Swift and Evan McAfee at their new store located in downtown Hanapepe.

Childhood memories captivate my senses as I prepare a meal for my friends. While I make crust for a mango tart, I’m taken back to the holidays in my Colorado home. I see my mother’s hands rolling piecrust and hear the rustle of my father’s newspaper. I didn’t realize mom was loving us at 5:30 a.m., shrouded in quiet and getting a jump on cooking. By the time we rose from our beds, trundled upstairs and kissed her with sleepy eyes, she had made a chocolate cream pie (my brother’s favorite), cherry pie (my favorite) and rum cake (dad’s favorite). After making us a hearty breakfast, she’d spend the rest of the morning cooking, while my father sat in the living room lingering over The Denver Post.
