Baking with Ancient Grains: Maria Speck cookbook launch & eat and greet

Meet & chat with author Maria Speck. Grab a signed copy of her new cookbook Baking with Ancient Grains and sample some of her recipes. Join us for an evening of food and conversation with author Maria Speck as she launches her new book Baking with Ancient Grains. Whole grains aren’t just a buzzword for award-winning author and cook Maria–they’re a way of life. She brings you into her world with her third book Baking With Ancient Grains, the product of years of painstaking research and recipe testing. We’ve tasted some of the recipes as she developed the book and we can assure you it's been worth the wait. With a focus on whole, fresh milled flours and single varietal grains like spelt and rye, Maria offers her Mediterranean-inspired perspective in this new tome, packed with 75 inspiring recipes for sweet and savory options, covering the gamut from bread to pastries. Each chapter includes an essay and tips on how to use these amazing flours in your everyday baking. This book is a treasure for both home millers and bakers using local fresh flour alike! Join us for a sampling of recipes from her book and a discussion with Maria on October 25th from 6:30pm-8:30pm. We’ll have a spread of food baked from the book and Maria will answer your questions about using whole flour in your next bake. More about Maria Speck: Maria is one of the OGs of the whole grain movement. She was doing it before it was cool. Before small mills like ours peppered the country. Her first books, Ancient Grains for Modern Meals, and Simply Ancient Grains inspired countless cooks and bakers to explore the delicious and nutritious world of whole grains (her books were a big part our research as we prepared to open our shop). In addition to her award-winning books, she has contributed to MODERNIST BREAD, and her writing has been featured in the Washington Post, Eating Well, Saveur, and Gastronomica.
