Dr Laura Valli, the former rye-searcher at WSU Breadlab, combines anthropology, agriculture and culinary arts to explore the past and present of rye and its charged relationship with humans across the globe.
No matter what your current rye relationship status, this lecture/sensory experience /hands-on baking class is bound to deepen and add nuance to your comprehension of this oft-misunderstood grain. You will leave with knowledge about why and how to incorporate more rye into your baking, along with practical tips to adjusting recipes. There will be a tasting portion with a broad range of baked goods made with rye, and a hands-on portion making cookies, crackers, and sponge cake.
Dr Valli is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Regenerative Agriculture at University of Missouri, looking at the impact of digital technologies on increasing access to cost-share funds. Originally from Estonia, she has a soft spot for Skagit after having lived there for almost five years, and is thrilled to be back for this special workshop that focuses on her graduate school love, rye.
