The LaSalle Public Library will be virtually hosting Father Dominic Garramone aka the Bread Monk, on Tuesday, March 28th, at 6:30 p.m. for a presentation on the history of scones, from medieval times to present day. The presentation will include basic techniques for a classic scone recipe with some easy variations, and more advanced recipes, like Norfolk scones with a layer of raspberry filling, and savory scones with bacon, cheddar and chives.

Father Dominic Garramone, OSB, is a monk at Saint Bede Abbey in Peru, Illinois. He was the host of
the PBS cooking show, Breaking Bread with Father Dominic, from 1999 to 2001. He has written ten
cookbooks. Father Dominic says he got his culinary education “between my mother’s kitchen, PBS,
and the public library.”
