Now recognised as one of the best in the business, Andrew and his Terrigal team will be sharing the force of nature and commitment to quality bread that is synonymous with 'Sonoma' in foodie circles in Sydney and the Central Coast community. Those were intense times, but we were determined to build Sonoma.” “Travelling 1080km round trip we would drive from Terrigal to Bellata and back to mix, shape, and bake 300 loaves of sourdough, returning on Friday evening with 2 hours sleep to then sell at the Paddington markets on Saturday in Sydney. I worked 150m up the road at the Crowne Plaza whilst we were setting up the original bakery in Bellata," says Sonoma Founder, Andrew. Terrigal is a special place to me as it is where the humble dream of Sonoma began back in 1998. To me bread is more than just a staple, it's a way of life and I want to share that passion with the local community. From humble beginnings, baking loaves in the north-western NSW town of Bellata and selling them at farmers' markets in Sydney, to now running one of the country's leading artisan bakeries, Sonoma.

Named Parker House rolls after the historic Boston hotel where these fluffy little fellows were first baked up the 1870s, the story is they acquired their signature dented appearance when an angry chef shoved his half-finished rolls into the oven.
