Father Dominic Garramone, OSB is a monk of Saint Bede Abbey in Peru IL. He was the host of the PBS cooking show “Breaking Bread with Father Dominic” from 1999 to 2001, and has written nine cookbooks.  His newest book, Bake Your Way Through the Holidays, was published by Reedy Press.  He is also an online baking instructor on Bluprint.com. Fr. Dom says he got his culinary education “between my mother’s kitchen, PBS and the public library” and when not baking or teaching can usually be found in the abbey herb garden.

Fr. Dom demonstrates some quick breads that can easily be made on Christmas morning, including Chocolate Orange Biscuit Twists and Shortcut Stollen, plus some festive coffeecakes and braided loaves for your holiday brunch table.
