Kneaders Bakery & Cafe with Colleen Worthington
Monday Nov 27, 2023
Monday Nov 27, 2023
More than twenty-five years ago, Colleen Worthington rolled up her sleeves and built a baking empire out of her own kitchen, which provided a place for her children and now grandchildren to learn hard work, dedication, and creativity. Together with her husband, Gary, the Worthington pursued their interest in scratch-made artisan breads by training at both the American Institute of Baking and San Francisco Baking Institute. They worked closely with Lehi Mills to develop an exclusive flour mixture and located an ideal, traditional Italian hearth-stone oven. Their first bakery opened in Orem, Utah, in 1997, where they served European hearth breads. Within a few months, they expanded to offer a variety of sandwiches, soups, and salads. In their first quarter-century, they have expanded to forty-nine stores in six western states.
In Kneaders Bakery & Cafe: A Celebration of Our Recipes and Memories, Colleen celebrates the many people who’ve shared in the success of the business, offering moving and inspiring memories along with favorite recipes. In addition to over a dozen recipes for bread, including Rosemary Focaccia Bread, Sesame Semolina, Chocolate Hearth, and Utah Mountain Style Cornbread, there are recipes for mouthwatering cakes, cookies, pies, and puddings, sandwiches, soups, salads, and breakfast.

Sunday Oct 08, 2023
Chef Michael Kalanty chats with us about the interesting road that led him to a career in baking. From a mathematics major to graduate school in architecture, to writing his thesis on the flying buttress of France’s cathedrals where he couldn’t help but notice the boulangeries next to every cathedral. He was so drawn to them that he apprenticed with a baker he met while there. This episode is worth listening to just for the description of focaccia with olive oil and “little pools of harvest grape jelly.”
An award-winning, professional baker with more than 20 years' experience, Michael Kalanty is a craft bread baker, culinary instructor, and cookbook author. His certifications include Executive Pastry Chef, Culinary Educator, and Master Taster. Kalanty was also named Chef Instructor of the Year by Le Cordon Bleu and has several full-length baking courses online, produced in partnership with Craftsy.com. His first book, How to Bake Bread, won "Best Bread Book in the World" at the Paris Cookbook Fair in 2011.
Michael is also a culinary R&D professional offering laboratory expertise in fermentation, sensory, and food analysis who works exclusively with companies who support a more sustainable and safe food system. Applied sciences formed the core of his undergrad training at Bucknell where he earned a degree in mathematics, specializing in statistics. Michael draws on his science background to develop and teach food science courses for professional culinary schools.
Michael has generously arranged for a 30% discount for his “Discovering Focaccia” video class in partnership with Central Milling’s Artisan Baking Center in Petaluma, CA! See link below.

Julie Tran Deily and ADHD
Sunday Aug 13, 2023
Sunday Aug 13, 2023
This week we talk with one of our favorite returning guests, Julie Tran Deily! Like Denise, Julie has also recently been diagnosed with ADHD. Suddenly, a lot of things started making sense to her. She’s been researching ways to make her life easier and is with us to share what she’s learned. Her new website drops next week; be sure to check it out! creativedatanerd.com, and @creativedatanerd on Facebook, Instagram and Tiktok.
Julie is a former software engineer turned full-time freelancer and blogger. She started her very popular food blog, The Little Kitchen, in 2009. Her recipes use fresh ingredients, are pretty much no-fuss, and often indulgent enough to be considered comfort food. Julie works with brands like Kitchen Aid, Land O Lakes, Le Creuset, and many others doing sponsored posts, brand ambassadorships, food photography, and writing.
