Chef Lucas makes it look easy, but any housewife ought...

The air in its decorated cellar carried the scent of two dozen types of pastry (French of course) and six types of coffee. The chef, Leon Marty, is an expert with butter-creams and Napoleons, but a novice with bread and rolls--a true artist...
