I’ve been testing out quick breads that will eventually find the way to our Garden Club’s bake sale, a fundraiser we hold around Thanksgiving. So when King Arthur Baking featured this pumpkin recipe, I gave it a try. And as usual, it did not disappoint. The recipe yields 1 larger loaf (8-1/2 x 4-1/2), but…

We recently spent several weeks in Sicily and Firenze. If you ever need some inspiration for eating and cooking as an art, these are the places you need to go. Our morning in Firenze began with a walk along the Arno which is remarkably uncrowded at 7 am, after which we stopped in at a…

King Arthur Baking’s newest cookbook, King Arthur Flour’s Big Book of Bread, has not only helped this old bread baker to perfect some techniques, it has opened my eyes to trying some new bakes. The Big Book of Bread’s English Muffin recipe is more of a traditional bake – longer rise time and griddled muffins…

During our COVID lockdown, we entertained ourselves with online cooking classes with Sur La Table. They are a lot of fun and, even with some experience as a cook under my belt, I learn something new each time. Highly recommend. The chef that has led most of our classes, Vanessa Craycroft is a great teacher…

Our Mother’s Day celebrations are a bit more low-key than most with family members spread across the continent. Usually I’ve brought something breakfast-like to my own Mom’s house and indulged in a quick visit. This year, I was looking for a sweet treat to bring and discovered this delicious coffee cake on King Arthur Baking’s…

Maybe it is because my Dad worked in a business related to livestock and agriculture, but I think I’ve always been aware of what a great resource County- and State-sponsored cooperative extension services can be. This recipe comes from the University of Maine’s Food and Health, and is a real treasure trove of nutritious food…

Our usual breakfast is normally very utilitarian – a bowl or oatmeal, yogurt with fruit. Definitely not much in the way of baked goods. But this morning felt a little more celebratory, so I decided we could do with some muffins. Erika, the creative behind Simply Low Cal, a great resource for those among us…

I usually stay away from breakfast pastries, but every once in a while, I need to fulfill a craving. This week, I wanted to make a muffin – one that I could bake and that would allow me to account for what I ate. Sally’s Baking Addiction was the jumping off point for this muffin…

Because today, May 18, is Adrien’s birthday, I decided to bake one of his favorite breakfast treats: scones. I really like this recipe from King Arthur Baking because it is a simple base from which to experiment. This morning, I added cinnamon bits and substituted maple syrup for the flavoring, but really, whatever the recipe…

Our granddaughter has an egg allergy which has prompted a lot of researching into egg-free baking and cooking. My experience with egg substitutions in “regular” recipes has not proven to be very successful. Oftentimes the bake is dry and heavy. So when I spotted this recipe, Light Cinnamon Rolls – Eggless from Munaty Cooking and…
