Join the Sofra Bakery & Cafe team this October for two special cookbook events featuring award-winning author, Maria Speck of Baking with Ancient Grains and Roxana Jullapat, expert on whole-grain baking and author of Morning Baker.

Maria will be visiting Sofra's Allston location on October 15th from 6:30 to 8:30 pm, where she will demonstrate two recipes from her book, followed by a conversation with Andrew Janjigian, author of Bread Baker’s Companion. The Sofra team will also prepare a variety of Maria's recipes, like Sorghum Cornbread with Spiced Pecans and Tomato-Mozzarella Pie with Spelt Brioche, for attendees to taste before going home with a copy of the book.

Roxana will be visiting Sofra's Allston location on November 5th from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. She'll demonstrate a handful of recipes from her book before joining some of Boston’s best bakers for a conversation about fresh-milled wheat, whole grains, and the remarkable flavor they bring to baking. Attendees will have the chance to enjoy a special breakfast-for-dinner buffet, featuring recipes from the book including Quiche, Red Pepper & Goat Cheese Scones and Buckwheat Joy Muffins, then leave with a copy of their own.

Tickets for both events (including a book copy) are $90 per person. Read more about each event here: https://bit.ly/46r7WlK
