Binding Agents: A Cook/Book Shop
908 Christian StreetIt all started with a recipe for miniature focaccia made in a loaf pan. That recipe went viral again, and again...and again. Now, trusted food blogger Rebecca Eisenberg has created a gorgeous, NYT-bestselling book of sweet and savory small-batch breads made with just one cup of flour. And she's bringing Small Batch Breads and her expertise to Binding Agents this fall!
Join us for a conversation with Rebecca—led by Margaret Eby (food editor, the Philadelphia Inquirer)—on her journey from diligent blogger to social media sensation; the task of building a book of creative, craveable recipes around a tight concept; bread making tips for bakers of all skill levels (seriously); and more.
Whether you're serving just one or two, looking to minimize food waste, eager to test new techniques on small yields, or just like cute little things, Small Batch Breads is a great addition to your baking arsenal (and a seriously fantastic gift).
Guests may choose a ticket with or without a copy of the book. Prices are inclusive of ticket fees. Entrance to the shop requires one step up. Please contact us at hello@bindingagentsphilly.com with any questions or accessibility needs; we'd be happy to help.
