Meg Ray is a self-taught baker, the best-selling author of Miette, and the chef and owner of San Francisco's most charming pastry shop by the same name. Miette has impeccable cakes that are traditionally American & birthday-party perfect. A modern interpretation and the finest, unrefined ingredients available have made Miette one of the top ten pastry shops in the world, according to Conde Nast.

Several years ago, Meg’s life changed when she was invited to the Swedish island of Rodlogo, an island with no running water or electricity. While there, she fell in love with the people, traditions, foods, and a small cafe, which specialized in breads and sandwiches. Every year she returns to Rodlogo to work at that small cafe, absorbing classic recipes, methodologies, and traditions of the area. Meg spends most of her time in California, except for her summers, which are dedicated to her favorite bakeshop in Sweden.
