With James Brown and Stephanie Leichtle-Chalklen. Lunch Break 3 ·
Amanda Vanhoozier conceived Slow Food Lunch Break for Slow Food DFW. I hosted the conversations with farmers, producers, and food organizers; Kaitlynn McConville created the graphics and handled marketing.
Where had all the flour gone?
For episode three on June 2, 2020, James Brown of Barton Springs Mill and Stephanie Leichtle-Chalklen of Kuluntu Bakery joined me to discuss flour’s journey from farm to kitchen and the sudden rise of home breadmaking.
