BREADUCATION

i desire to live in a world where we all move from being breadWINNERS to breadMAKERS! i have shared how to make delicious, everyday bread with hundreds of people through my breadmaking instruction endeavor, Lisaruth’s Lovin’ From the Oven.

i started with kitchen experimentation using a no-knead bread recipe in San Francisco in 2008.  i began keeping my household in bread, giving some away by bicycle delivery, and bartering loaves for goods and services.  inspired by the SF Diggers‘ notion of FREE, in 2009 i began to host no-cost, informal workshops that have brought dozens of friends, family, and strangers alike around my kitchen table for breadmaking instruction together with food and conversation. Lisaruth’s Lovin’ From the Oven breadmaking demos help connect people to a primordial skill that i believe to be the gateway to other means of self-empowerment and the participation in creating one’s own reality. one gains ownership over one’s food sources, and the possibility for human connection arises. one slows down.

in 2013, following a successfully funded Kickstarter campaign, i began taking my breadmaking instruction to larger audiences at outdoor ovens or community kitchens through a custom-built Breadmobile, a bicycle trailer doubling as a bread preparation station.

Lisaruth presents Lovin’ From the Oven to TEDX – Constitution Drive in Menlo Park, CA in May 2015

in 2015 i featured my breadmaking project, origin, and philosophy in a TEDX talk. watch the 16 minute presentation!

my bread demos have been part of many community events: the South San Francisco Public Library’s Lovin’ at the Library Month in February 2015, the Mission District’s Clinica Martin Baró‘s Healthy Saturdays program in April and May 2013, and Roots to Fruits: Tasting our Shared Fruiture in July 2011. my bread was featured at San Francisco’s Tenderloin National Forest twice as part of the Harvest Moon Buffet Flats: Queering Slow Food in September 2011 and as part of the Luggage Store Gallery’s exhibition Streetopia in June 2012. i baked at Hayes Valley Farm in their cob beehive oven for Interdependence Day on 12/12/12. and my bread was showcased at SF Food Wars’ Yeast Affliction! in January 2010.
