Bread has a rich history that reaches back at least 30,000 years and its consumption was absolutely vital to the formation of the earliest human societies—and beyond. Today it is estimated that 60% of the world’s population eats bread daily in a myriad of delicious forms from sourdough to bannock to bao.

Join author and food blogger, Jean E Pendziwol and screenwriter and author of The Only Way to Make Bread, Cristina Quintero for a wide ranging exploration of the role of bread as a food staple, a community builder and as a metaphor for life. Bring an appetite and enjoy bite size tasty bread samples.
