Last Sunday was a holiday for me and therefore it was a reason to indulge in my favorite hobby--baking. Actually it is one of my three favorite hobbies (and I am sure I will mention these hobbies over and over in this blog!) : reading, knitting, and baking. I also love going to the theater and to the movies, listening to indie bands, walking on the beach and sunsets but that is besides the point.
The recipe I made came from a book written by Maida Heatter. I discovered her baking books when I was newly married and couldn't afford to buy the desserts that I wanted to eat. Her recipes are always complete, nothing left out, and always delicious. Even though these books are years old they are classics in baking, and perfect for anyone who wants to 'perfect' their baking. Other bakers who follow in Maida's footsteps are Dorie Greenspan, Beatrice Ojakangas and Marcy Goldman. When checking the catalog we have many baking books. located in the non-fiction section at 641.8, for you to look through, get ideas, and get baking!

I love your blog.
I am ferklempt at the thought of baking from library recipes. What a great resource! Did you know that Ernest and Julio Gallo started their wine empire with a wine recipe they got from the public library??
Thanks!
