August Zang and The Croissant: Don't Thank Him. Please. - Chez Jim Books Introduces "August Zang and the French Croissant - How Viennoiserie Came to France"

August Zang brought the croissant to France and helped transform French baking. But he did his best to be sure no one knew that. A new book from Chez Jim Books "August Zang and the French Croissant - How Viennoiserie Came to France" - reveals how Zang brought the croissant to France, transformed French baking, then returned to Austria to found a newspaper - and to try to bury his past as a "baker." - March 25, 2010
