Binding Agents Presents: SMALL-BATCH BREADS with Rebecca Eisenberg

4:00 PM • Sunday, October 11, 2026Binding Agents$10

It all started with a recipe for miniature focaccia made in a loaf pan. That recipe went viral again, and again...and again. Now, trusted food blogger Rebecca Eisenberg has created a gorgeous, NYT-bestselling book of sweet and savory small-batch breads made with just one cup of flour. And she's bringing Small-Batch Breads and her expertise to Binding Agents this fall! Join us for a conversation with Rebecca—led by Margaret Eby (food editor, the Philadelphia Inquirer)—on her journey from diligent blogger to social media sensation; the task of building a book of creative, craveable recipes around a tight concept; bread making tips for bakers of all skill levels (seriously); and more.

We've never been so collectively starved for moments of pause. This event is for anyone wanting to slow down, enjoy their kitchen time and, by extension, everything else a little bit more. In Eating at Home, Trinity Mouzon Wofford shares 85 inviting recipes to bring more calm, connection, and nourishment into your routine. Inspired by the meals Trinity makes with her own family, the book embraces affordable components, local produce, and approachable techniques so that you can say, "We have food at home," and actually be excited about it. Join us at Binding Agents for an evening with Trinity, in conversation with journalist Sydney Gore, about making cooking part of a more pleasurable pace of life, compiling her own routines and favorite foods into book form, founding Golde, and much more.
