I spend a lot of time reading on the internet. A lot of that time is spent on cooking sites and blogs. There are many great resources. Here are some that I have found helpful.
Cooks Illustrated
Cooks Illustrated is one of the best cooking magazines out there. They do an excellent job […]

Banana Bread is known as a quick bread. As opposed to a yeast bread you don’t need to knead the dough and let it rise. A yeast bread usually takes at least a few hours to prepare before you can even put it in the oven. A quick bread such as most […]

I guess another title for this post could be “just try it.” Many times when I have people over for dinner or dessert they will eat and ask how did you learn to do this or that? And my answer is usually the same. I got a recipe and did what it […]
