Offering Seattle's coffee-loving population the perfect accompaniments for its freshly brewed cups, Leslie Mackie has been churning out delectable sweet and savory baked goods from her ovens in the Macrina Bakery & Café since 1993. Leslie graduated from the California Culinary Academy and then worked in San Francisco's upscale Ernie's restaurant, where she honed her skills. In Boston, she furthered her command of pastries in the kitchens of the Regal Bostonian Hotel and Lydia Shire's Biba restaurant. Yearning for additional enlightenment, Leslie travelled to the Italian countryside to observe the village bakers and learn the techniques that had been passed on for generations. Upon her return to America, she became the head baker at the Grand Central Bakery & Cafe before opening her own Macrina Bakery & Café. In the show BAKING WITH JULIA, Leslie Mackie creates an assortment of colorful fruit tarts and pies.
