Spotlight on women at the Bread Bakers Guild |
|
Filed under: Baking, Comfort Food, Artisan Foods  For those who are unfamiliar with the Bread Bakers Guild of America (I'm sure there are a lot of you), it's an organization dedicated to promoting artisan bread making in America. This is the group responsible for fielding the US Bread Team in the Baking World Cup. I think it's an awesome cooperative.
One of my few problems with the Guild, though, is the way they organize events. Whenever they set up workshops, classes, or gatherings of any kind, the events are all in a limited set of geographic locations. They aren't really spread out so that people from more parts of the country can easily attend.
Well, the Guild has out done itself this time. This spring and summer, the group has put together a series of classes called the "Women of the Guild: North American Tour 2008". Not only does it shine a light on women bakers (yay), the tour really does go all over the US. (Well, they could hit more southern cities, but at least the tour is hitting my southern city).
The classes will be taught by a female Guild member and will focus on a specialty of that particular member. There is a lot more information at the Bread Bakers Guild website. You can find out about dates and registration. You can also order a tee-shirt. So even if you can't go to a class, you can look like you did!Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
