Hello bread and grain friends, The days are finally getting a tad longer, and I’m hibernating a little less with each hour of nightfall dwindling away.

I’m heavily into a zine project with Culinary Breeding Network called More Bang for your Buckwheat. In these loaves I’m using flour from a mill that’s been in NY since 1797. Whoa!

Hello bread friends, I spent the month resting up from a fun shoot for the einkorn book I’ve been working on. Blue Star Press assigned an amazing team with Dina Avila doing the photographs and the unstoppable Anne Parker doing the styling. Wow! What a superstar team these two are, and even doing long 12+ hour days, I had a blast. Shout out to Mike who thought the book we were working on was my last name. Adrian Einkorn. I should also thank him for keeping a constant stream of albums on my turntable and leaving my record collection … Read more
