July 13 "Homemade Bread Showcase" with Chicago Amateur Bread Bakers
You're invited!
...to the "Homemade Bread Showcase," sponsored by Green Week [2] in Chicago's Andersonville neighborhood.- When: Wednesday, July 13, 6:30-7:30 pm
- Where: Las Manos Gallery [3], 5220 North Clark Street, Chicago, IL 60640
- Other details: Free-of-charge, all ages welcome, event flyer here [4]
The goal of the "Homemade Bread Showcase" is to raise awareness about the joys, benefits, and challenges of baking bread at home. In an informal setting, attendees are invited to sample bread and chat with those of us who bake our own bread. One may learn, for example, how easy it is to get started baking; how healthy homemade bread can be; and how relaxing and satisfying it can be to to bake bread at home from simple, real ingredients.
Speaking of real ingredients, our bakers will be baking into their loaves locally grown, stone-ground whole wheat and cornmeal, bounteously donated to us by Urban Orchard [7], the organic produce market opening this August in Andersonville. The grain is being milled for us by Roger's Creek Grist Mill [8] in Milledgeville, IL.
Gold'N Pear Catering [10] will be refreshing event attendees' palates with a generous donation of their delicious iced tea and lemonade, inspired by seasonal ingredients. [9]
A big thank you to the LillStreet Art Center Textiles Department [12] for loaning us fun, pretty coverings for our tables, from which we will be serving home-baked bread!
The event would not be possible without Las Manos Gallery [3], who will be hosting the event in their gallery space. Thank you, Las Manos!
The event also takes place on the six-month anniversary of Chicago Amateur Bread Bakers [5], our not-for-profit group of avid home bakers of yeasted, artisanal breads. We look forward to celebrating with our engaged, curious, and committed group of bread bakers, who never cease to delight us and teach us new things about breadbaking.
We are looking for Chicagoans to help us get the word out. Please download and distribute our event flyer [4]--e.g., at your workplace, school, local market, or community center. Please invite family, friends, and colleagues to this public event. And we encourage you to let us know that you're looking forward to the event as much as we are--by leaving us a comment below--or tweeting us at @AmateurBakers [15].
