An Afternoon with Anne Byrn

Please join us as we welcome New York Times-bestselling author Anne Byrn, just as her latest book, Baking in the American South, hits shelves.

“My new cookbook is a love letter to Southern baking, a legacy built by grandmothers, modern chefs, and Black women and men who pioneered these flavors,” Byrn points out. “It’s more than recipes — it’s stories, traditions and the taste of home baked with love. Get ready to savor the South through the baking that made it famous.”

Think Thomasville Cheese Biscuits, Church Ladies’ Cinnamon Coffee Cake, Martha Nesbit’s Blueberry Muffins, Demopolis Turtleback Cookies and much, much more!

Byrn will speak in Well-Spring’s Virginia Somerville Sutton Theatre from 4-5 p.m., followed by a simple reception featuring treats from Byrn’s new book, prepared by Well-Spring’s renowned culinary team. Admission is free and open the public – we hope to see you!

We want to thank Scuppernong Books and Well-Spring for their support of this event.

NOTE: Garden & Gun magazine has just highlighted Byrn’s new book in its spread featuring “the year’s standout offerings” in cookbooks. CLICK HERE to read.
