This workshop is a part of CRAFT’s Maker in Residence program. Chloe Newman, owner of CrustWorthy LLC will be completing a residency during the Winter of 2020.
Buckwheat has been hitting the Pittsburgh restaurant scene as a new and exciting ingredient, but also has a rich agricultural and cultural history to this region. But if it isn’t a grain...what is it?
This 2-hour workshop will go over the many benefits and unique qualities of this native Pennsylvania plant. Together we’ll delve into a bit of its history, clear up common misconceptions, see it in its many forms, and of course, we’ll learn how to prepare some of its delicious possibilities!
Newbies to baking and/or buckwheat are encouraged to join. The workshop will include a tasting of some recipes that feature buckwheat, as well as offer some recipes for participants to take home and try for themselves. Everyone will leave class with some locally sourced buckwheat of their own.

Instructor: Chloe J Newman
Chloe first fell in love with sourdough baking in 2016, although she’s always had a deep connection to cooking and the community of food. Naturally-leavened bread has become a strong expression of her overlapping backgrounds in visual art and organic life sciences, as well as her more recent studies in sustainability and local food systems.
In January 2019, Chloe became the founder and baker of Crust Worthy, a small-scale, community-supported baking operation, providing organic-grain, hand-crafted, naturally-leavened bread and specialty baked goods to local areas in Pittsburgh, PA. This winter she'll be a Maker in Residence for Chatham’s Center for Regional Agriculture, Food, and Transformation (CRAFT) where she can continue to develop her craft, expand her business, and engage her communities with sustainable baking.
