Upcoming Signings, Pretzel Classes, and Events

This spring and summer I'll be spreading pretzel love up and down the West Coast, beginning tomorrow at Powell's Books for Cooks on S.E. Hawthorne Boulevard in Portland with a book signing and pretzel tasting alongside fellow snack-book author Ivy Manning and her new book, Crackers & Dips. Stop by from 2 to 4 p.m. for pretzel bites, homemade crackers, and a signed copy of our books.


In June, my first stop is San Francisco for a demo and signing at the legendary cookbook store Omnivore Books on Monday, June 3 from 6 to 7 p.m. Attendees will leave with dough to shape and bake a pretzel at home.

Then it's on to British Columbia for a couple events in Vancouver. First, a pretzel-shaping demo live on TV! Tune in to watch me teach the host of Breakfast TV how to do the twist on Friday, June 14. The following day, Saturday, June 15, sign up to attend a pretzel-making class at Vancouver's renowned cookbook store, Barbara-Jo's Books to Cooks.

Later in June, I'll be teaching two hands-on pretzel and mustard classes back in Portland. Learn the secrets of authentic pretzel making on Thursday, June 20 at Bob's Red Mill or on Saturday, June 22 with the Portland Culinary Alliance at the Oregon Culinary Institute.

Seattle friends, stay tuned for details about a pretzel-themed book dinner at Tom Douglas's Brave Horse Tavern on Saturday,  July 6. I'll be in town to teach two sold-out classes at The Pantry at Delancey that weekend.
