BACK TO INDEX | NEXT CHEF Along with her tremendous appreciation for traditional culinary arts, Lora Brody also embraced the convenience of the bread machine in her book Bread Machine Baking: Perfect Every Time, popularizing this modern appliance in homes across the nation. A pioneer in the professional kitchen, Lora opened her catering business in Boston during a time when there were only two other women in town doing the same thing. Her need for friendship and advice from other female chefs and food professionals led her to create the Women's Culinary Guild, which gave female chefs a support system they had never had before. Lora is now the author of numerous award-winning cookbooks and a regular contributor to culinary magazines and newspapers. She has appeared on Good Morning America, Live With Regis and Kathy Lee, and the Television Food Network, touting the beauty of the bread machine. In the show BAKING WITH JULIA, Lora Brody shows us how to prepare White Buttermilk Bread and a zesty Salsa Quitza.  Bread Machine White Buttermilk Bread  Salsa Quitza
