“From 1970s Madison to The Manna Cafe Cookbook: How Two Businesses and a Cookbook Took Root”

The author of The Manna Cafe and Bakery Cookbook, Barb Pratzel, will look at how the 1970s was an incubator for her and her husband Mike, as their love of food and eating became a career and a piece of Madison history. Madison in the 1970s greatly influenced their decision to open a food-centric B&B, and later a restaurant, and much of what defined their businesses drew from what defined Madison as a city and a place to eat well. The evening will include a book signing, food samples and stories.
