Karen Morgan - Blackbird Bakery Gluten-Free

How Our Events Work

BookPeople is proud to host over 300 events every year. Our events are free and open to the public, unless otherwise stated.

To get a book signed at one of our events, a copy of the event book must be purchased from BookPeople. By purchasing a book from BookPeople, you are not only supporting a local, independent business, but you are also showing publishers that they should continue sending authors to BookPeople. Think of it this way: you wouldn't bring your own beer to a bar, would you?

For events where we anticipate large crowds, wristbands may be required in order to join the signing line. Occasionally we may also ticket events. In both cases, information as to when wristbands/tickets are available will be found on that event's specific page on our website.

An estimated 20 million Americans suffer from gluten sensitivities, making the gluten-free lifestyle a cutting edge culinary challenge. Blackbird Bakery Gluten-Free is the first cookbook of its kind to take on this revolution, making gluten-free a facet of the gourmand set.

In 2002, when Karen was first diagnosed with Celiac Disease, she discovered a market wasteland of dry, cardboard gluten-free food replacements. With no gluten-free cooking schools to attend, this marked the beginning of Karen's 8 year empirical journey; creating masterful recipes so good that you’ll forget they’re gluten-free.

Karen Morgan, the proprietor of Blackbird Bakery, Austin’s first gourmet gluten-free online bakery, will talk about what it means to truly live the gluten-free lifestyle. Plus, Karen will share all her amazing gluten-free baking tips & simple tricks from her cookbook Blackbird Bakery Gluten-Free: 75 Recipes for Irresistible Desserts & Pastries.

Come meet the charismatic author and get your copy of her revolutionary cookbook signed before it hits the bestseller list!
