About

Sophia Worgan of Bob's Red Mill will be cooking and talking about the new book called Grains of Discovery.  This will be a chance to meet her and learn how to make some of the dishes in the book.

Sophia Worgan, coordinator and lead instructor of Bob’s Red Mill Cooking School, will stop by the BARN to teach a class on everyday ancient grains!

These amazing grains have vital nutrients, amazing protein and fiber contents and offer a more unique flavor profile. The recipes featured in class, will showcase how you can make ancient grains into show-stopping dinners any night of the week.
