We visited Florence (Firenze) last March, and one of the highlights of that part of our trip was a food tour of Mercato Centrale, the Central Market. Our tour and tour guide was from Eating Europe (link here) and we highly recommend them. Also, visiting the Mercato on a weekday makes that experience a lot…

When COVID isolated us, and inflation made the price of bread somewhat ridiculous, I started baking bread on a weekly basis again. Baking bread was something I enjoyed when our family was much younger; there was and still is definitely some deep satisfaction in putting together rather simple ingredients and turning out warm loaves of…

Last week, I used buttermilk in a casserole, but then had a significant amount leftover. What do you do with almost an entire quart of buttermilk? I started by trolling the Internet for a few ideas and found this bread recipe on Butter with a Side of Bread. The breads I bake tend toward whole…

Many years ago, maybe 35 at this point, Adrien and I bought a ‘natural’ foods cookbook to accompany our newly-developed interest in eating more non-meat-based meals. The cookbook, probably out of print by now was The Deaf Smith Country Cookbook by Marjorie Winn Ford, Susan Hillyard, and Mary Faulk Koock. The book is in tatters…

When we were a young family, my mother-in-law gifted me with an galvanized hand-crank bread bucket. She had one that she used each week to turn out loaves of bread and, once I became more interested in bread-baking, she found one and gifted it to me. Back in those days (the late 1970s, early 1980s),…

I’ve been on the hunt for a less rustic loaf of bread recently and, of course, I’m finding lots of options on King Arthur Baking’s recipe site. This one looks like a winner for sandwich breads and is going into the bread-baking rotation. We rarely have an abundance of milk in our fridge any more;…

According to King Arthur Baking Company, this is the Easiest Loaf of Bread You’ll Ever Bake. I don’t know if every bread baker will agree with that sentiment, but it certainly is not complicated and turns out a delicious pair of loaves that stayed fresh for the couple of days that we consumed it (one…

In the process of using up an eggplant from our CSA Share yesterday (Google it – there are a million great sounding recipes for roasted eggplant dips), I discovered we had no actual bread in the house. Wheat thins didn’t seem like the appropriate vehicle for a Middle-eastern Dip, so I began looking at exactly…

Because we’ve received a really (really, really) large amount of zucchini, I’ve developed a new appreciation for gardeners and the creative recipes so many people share to help use up zucchini crops. We’ve had some delicious muffins (thanks Joanne Chang-Meyers) and today, we baked this delicious and moist Vegan Zucchini Bread recipe from the website…

I used to bake bread all of the time and, for a while, I was the proud owner of a bread bucket courtesy of my mother-in-law which we used to turn out several loaves of bread at a time. While bread-making doesn’t intimidate me, I fell out of the habit sometime when I went back…
