Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - If the smell of freshly baked breads and pastries get you out of bed, then you won't want to miss the Old Town Farmers' Market - Tianguis Cultural this Saturday. We are featuring Puerto Vallarta's best tasting artisan baked goods made by Artisan Bakery and Maria Reyes Corn Flan.

Artisan Bakery specializes in old world style naturally fermented European breads. All of their rustic breads are made from a 100% natural, 30-year-old fermented sourdough starter. It is this key ingredient this is responsible for the exceptional flavor and texture for all of Artisan Bakery's fine breads.

• Sourdough • Whole Wheat • Sour Rye Wheat • Ciabatta • Focaccia • Pugliese • Rustic Grain • Multigrain • Black Olive Bread • Pumpkin Seed Bread • Walnut & Raisin Bread • Apricot & Raisin Bread • Jalapeno & Cheese Bread • Garlic & Cheese Bread • Fougasse

"I learned how to make artisan breads from professional artisan bakers in the San Francisco area," says Lorene Rivera, owner of Artisan Bakery. Since opening in January 2008, Rivera has been applying her expertise to carefully mix preservative-free ingredients. She then kneads, proofs and hand shapes the dough before placing it in Artisan Bakery's wood-burning masonry oven. The intense heat and wood aromas give Artisan Bakery's breads its signature flavor.

"Even those who say they are not sourdough fans are drawn to the chewy texture and crisp crust of our naturally produced leavened breads," says Rivera. "They become 'new believers' and are quick to pick out their favorite loaves."

"My corn flan, Mexican Christmas cake, and flourless chocolate cake are made from old family recipes," says Maria Reyes, the founder of Maria Reyes Corn Flan. "Other flavorful products were recently added to our menu, but all are made with the most important ingredient - love."

In her fourth season at the Market, Reyes has been serving her one-of-a-kind baked goods to locals and tourists from all over the world. Each week, these customers can't wait to dig into the sweet and savory flavors of her flan and pastry menu:
