November 2013
Since bringing my little one home from the farm, I have made many, many, many a trek up and down a few flights of stairs en route from my apartment to her little patch of green. In this mad dash, I flash by the neighborly mailboxes all in a row. During one such green-pastured frenzy, a little hint of red, on a bright white box, caught my eye. Oh the thrill that welled inside me when I discovered the package aligned with the mailbox marked with a Q! My little Julep was just as excited to see what the surprise parcel contained…
In spite of her anticipation, she still minded her manners patiently for permission to approach the surprise…
Oh joy! That hint of red was the seal of the tried and true recipe developers I had recently visited- America’s Test Kitchen.
Oh more joy! The bubble wrap revealed the Cook’s Illustrated Baking Book. Intended to demystify baking, this new addition to my library features 450 foolproof recipes from those precision lovers at America’s Test Kitchen.
“Now what?” her round eyes seemed to say.
Now we bake, Little One, now we bake a LOT!
Stay tuned as we adventure through the many, many pages of black and white baked goods.
