Need a night out with the girls? Let The Bread Beckers’ host your time together.

It is our privilege to welcome as our guest teacher for our fall Ladies Night Out event, the popular cookbook author Maria Speck. Maria’s first cookbook, Ancient Grains for Modern Meals (item # 09219) won multiple awards including the coveted Julia Child Award and was named a top cookbook by both the New York Times and Washington Post, as well as Cooking Light magazine. Maria is a sought after teacher and speaker, and is featured in the documentary film The Grain Divide.

Raised in Greece and Germany, by her Greek mother and German father, Maria has a lifelong passion for whole grains.

Maria will be sharing recipes from her new book, Simply Ancient Grains. Maria’s culinary use of whole grains, with her attention to both the color and flavor of the dish, will inspire all who attend to add whole grains to your table, not simply as a healthy food, but as a delicious addition to any meal.

Menu will include: Buckwheat and Beet Soup with spicy horseradish and Sweet Potato Oat Cakes for starters, a Kamut Salad with Oranges, Leeks and Blue Cheese for a main dish, and Barley Thumbprints with honey and hazelnuts for dessert.

Maria will be on hand for book signing before and during the event. Both cookbooks are available for purchase at the Bread Beckers. A personally autographed cookbook is a great gift idea!
