My guest this week is Colleen Worthington. Colleen and her husband Gary are the founders of Kneaders Bakery and Café, and now have put together the KNEADERS Bakery & Cafe cookbook to Celebrate 25 years in business. I hated to see the Wichita location on North Rock Road close during the start of COVID and was truly saddened it closed permanently shortly afterwards. Holding out hope for a new locati0n in the future. Learn more about Kneaders – Follow Kneaders on Facebook and Twitter or X.
The story of Kneaders Bakery and Cafe began with Colleen and Gary Worthington baking traditional European bread in their kitchen. After mastering old-world bread-baking techniques and testing countless recipes, Colleen, Gary, and their growing team of bakers moved onto their signature artisan bread.
But bread is just the beginning. Kneaders is well-known for their mouth-watering soups, sandwiches, and breakfast as well as their delectable pies, cakes, and pastries. For the first time, home cooks have access to popular recipes such as Overnight Chunky Cinnamon French Toast, Artichoke Portobello Soup, and Blueberry Sour Cream Pie. Beautiful and appetizing photos accompany each recipe.
What began in Colleen Worthington’s kitchen a little more than twenty-five years ago has grown into a successful family-owned bakery and cafe business with time-tested, delicious recipes gathered in this one-of-a-kind cookbook. Get a copy NOW!
After retiring as franchisees of nine successful Subway restaurants, Gary and Colleen Worthington began thinking about their next endeavor; scratch-made artisanal breads. Their interest in traditional bakeries led them to research and develop a restaurant concept featuring the highest-quality ingredients for delicious, authentic European hearth breads.
Later I’ll be talking to Eli Faraggi, founder and CEO of InnoBev, producer of BioLift
