Wednesday, November 9th, 7:00 PM.  Marilynn and Sheila Brass (The Brass Sisters) are on a mission to bring old-fashioned American home baking back to everyone's kitchen.  Their newest book, Baking with the Brass Sisters, embodies their philosophy: "We believe that there is nothing that tastes as good as something baked by someone who loves us, unless it is something we have baked and shared with someone we love."  This is a ticketed event, and there will be tastings of food from the book!
