Not sure where I heard about this one - I thought it was on here, but don't see any posts about it 🤷♀️. Anyway, it's a good lunch/break choice. Relatively entertaining, easy to dip and out of, not so compelling that I have to tote it around to keep reading.
There's a little bit of Coastal-Media-Type-Road-Trips-to-Find-the-Real-America 🙄, but not the worst offender I've ever come across. And it's balanced with lots of pie recipes!
pickMany of the recipes sound and look delicious! The author includes personal notes for each recipe, which I really enjoy. This is the first recipe I tried (#mtcookbook success!), but I have it on display, tempting me to try others!
This is the Brown Sugar Almond Pound Cake that I served at Mother‘s Day brunch with macerated berries and whipped yogurt.
Husband‘s request - brownies. Any bets on how long the pan will last?
I‘m not a baker beyond the basics and this companion is perfect support. Lots of helpful advice in it. #Mtcookbook
pickA small town community is brought together in part by an elderly woman‘s baking classes. I laughed. I cried. Elizabeth Berg is quickly becoming a favorite. #litsylovereads 🍪
I‘ve had some sort of flu bug (not Covid) for the past few days and this book is the extent of what my brain can handle.
It‘s like watching a season of The Great British Bake Off with the foreknowledge that all the contestants have a secret and are unreliable narrators. Hmm, let‘s call them “unreliable bakers”. 😆

I preface this by acknowledging I am not the target audience. That being said, I really don't get the hype around this book. I got halfway & considered DNF'ing it. Instead, I read some other books before returning. I ended up skimming the last third of the book. Plot & pacing issues were what killed it for me.
Overall, not for me but it‘s off my shelf!

Sometimes baking makes me nervous. I‘m not sure why. I‘m much better at regular cooking. But let me tell you, this sweet potato cornbread from The Savory Baker was easy and my husband LOVED it. My first time making it! The recipe called for baking in a cast iron pan, but I wanted to make muffins instead. I also made some honey-cayenne butter to spread on them and oh my goodness *chef‘s kiss*
I love America‘s Test Kitchen cookbooks #mtcookbook

1. Just trying to get through the work week to make it to Independent Bookstore Day! And then on Sunday, my library is hosting a puzzle swap 🧩
2. One day, I will adopt a new fur-baby.
3. Probably a bird, one of the raptors so I could soar in the sky.
Thanks for the tag @Eggs ❤️
This is definitely my favorite sourdough cookbook. I mixed up the dough for these overnight baguette twists yesterday afternoon, shaped them early this morning, and baked them before leaving for church. The recipe is simple and delicious!
