Hi Steve and Malawry, We are going to be very strict. The Vaad-Hakashrut and the mashgiach will supervise the bakery. We will be opening hopefully in 2 weeks. I did not bake yet anything Parve. I have an 15 years experience as pastry chef and I am a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu and also an ex- Israeli but never baked in Israel. I am waiting for some receipes from a baker friend in Israel but he told me already that some of the ingredients are not the same here and there. I found some recipes that uses margarine and shortning and I will try them. I will also try to use the non-dairy topping instead of milk. Our clientele will be the orthodox jews. Yoshka
