Red Truck Bakery founder Brian Noyes will share delicious ideas from his new book, The Red Truck Bakery Farmhouse Cookbook, at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, October 19, at the Eudora Welty House & Garden. Cake and other goodies will also be offered at this free, open to the public event.

The former art director at the Washington Post, Smithsonian, and other publications, Noyes studied culinary arts as well, including at CIA in Hyde Park, NY, L’Academie de Cuisine near Washington, D. C., and King Arthur Baking in Norwich, VT. He left publishing to open a bakery in rural Virginia. There are two Red Truck Bakery locations now, and two cookbooks, including this new one. Lemuria Books will be on site for book sales, and signed copies may be available from Lemuria in advance. Noyes photo © Angie Mosier.

While working in publishing, he began baking pies and breads on weekends in his Virginia farmhouse and selling them from an old red truck he bought from designer Tommy Hilfiger. Today Red Truck Bakery ships thousands of baked goods nationwide.

Noyes is an advisor to the Jacques Pépin Foundation and a member of the Southern Foodways Alliance and the James Beard Foundation.
