The Symposium will be curated by Johnson & Wales faculty member and noted author, Peter Reinhart, who wrote The Bread Baker’s Apprentice and 10 other books on bread. “In years past, the Symposium featured industry leaders from several continents who gathered to share perspectives on many aspects of bread making in an academic context. This year’s symposium will offer a chance to explore those themes more deeply through small, hands-on workshops,” explained Reinhart.
The symposium will also feature a keynote address on new discoveries in the world of microbiology and their implications on the future of bread. This will be in addition to a plenary session on emerging technologies in bread production.
