Podcast

Peter Reinhart is one of the nation’s most acclaimed authorities on bread and he will have us rolling in dough as he shares the story of his life in bread. As a man who has made a living from “loafing,” Chef Reinhart will let us view (and taste) the next frontier in the world of flour, especially sprouted flour, which he calls a “nutritious and delicious game changer.” He will also discuss whole and ancient grains, nut and seed flours, alternative flours (such as teff and grape skin), and allergy-friendly and gluten-free approaches to bread baking. Chef Reinhart will also give a demonstration using sprouted flour, and will be on hand to answer questions, no matter how flaky or crusty they may be. And, he will be available to sign copies of his recently released book, “Bread Revolution: World Class Baking with Sprouted and Whole Grains, Heirloom Flours, and Fresh Techniques.” Profits from our book sales are used to fund the Culinary Historians of Chicago.  Please reserve a copy with your reservation,
