Hi I’m Esther
I’m Esther Rinkoff and I started Walk Talk Bake in 2019.
I am extremely proud to say I am a Rinkoff. My husband Ray has worked in Rinkoff bakery for 55 years.
On this walking tour I will tell you the amazing history of the bakery alongside facts relating to the social history of this fascinating area.
Who are Rinkoff bakery?
Rinkoff bakery is a 5 generation family run business. The bakery was established in 1911 by Hyman Rinkoff, who came to London from Kiev with a passion for baking and a determination to establish himself here as a master baker.
Rinkoff’s have been producing speciality bread, cakes and rolls for over 100 years! This includes traditional challah, sourdoughs, exceptional danish pastries and now our famous Crodoughs.
When we arrive at the bakery, you are almost always guaranteed to meet a member of the family.
And at the end of the tour we will stop here for a delicious bagel lunch.
I loved the tour and learned so much about the East End. Absolutely fascinating. And the bagels and danish at the end were incredible.
