Up-Coming Events 2011: |

October 8th
/ Saturday Noon-1:30pm
In-Store Cookbook Author
Book Signing - A Whole Grains Event
We are
thrilled to host an early afternoon of all things whole
grains. Come and meet cookbook author Maria Speck and
Liz L’Etoile from Four Star Farms, Inc. Maria is the
author
of the stunning new book:
Ancient Grains for Modern Meals:
Mediterranean Whole Grain Recipes for Barley, Farro, Kamut,
Polenta, Wheat Berries & More (Ten Speed Press,
2011)
Maria Speck grew up in Greece and Germany. She is a
writer and journalist with a lifelong passion for whole
grains, and has contributed to Gourmet, Saveur, and
Gastronomica, as well as Marie Claire and
Elle.
Maria is a self-taught cook and teaches at the Cambridge
School of Culinary Arts. While she acknowledges the health
benefits of whole grains her primary goal is to make
staples like millet and spelt so appealing that the reader
can’t resist craving them for their great flavor. Who
wouldn’t want to start the day with her Walnut Spice
Breakfast Cake recipe?
“I was very lucky,” she writes. “Unlike many of us today,
I was never introduced to whole grains as a health food”
she says. “ No one lectured me to add them to my diet.”
Instead, Speck, who grew up in a Greek-German household
where grains were always on the table, treats them as the
ultimate comfort food.
“To me, whole grains carry luxurious qualities: lively
textures, vivid colors and rich flavors.”
That’s a key message of her book. She wants whole grains
to be appreciated for the amazing flavor, rich textures,
and stunning colors they bring to our meals.
Maria and Liz will be in the store on Saturday October 8th
from 12 noon until 1:30pm.

Also with us will be Liz L’Etoile from Four Star Farms,
Inc., in Northfield, MA. Liz’s family farm has been
farming in the Pioneer Valley for more than 20 years. They
produce and process sustainably grown sod, hops and small,
whole grains such as barley (hulled and whole), spelt
triticale, and wheat berries.

grains? Just ask Liz and Maria – they will be happy to
help you!
