Throwing down that first gauntlet ...

Hey fellow bakers,

Thanks for setting this up, Perrin. I especially like the name, although I must confess I've been calling it by its initials in my head and thus feeling like it's an NPR station (coming to you from WGBA ...). Which is only a good thing, in my book.

So what are we going to bake first? Do we want to all get the same book and work our way through it? Do you want to try some random Internet recipes? Shall we haul out my collection (and I know Sarah Jane has one too) of old Seventies cookbooks that call for spelt and smell like an old-timey food co-op?

Can't wait to hit the ovens with you guys,

Leah

  1. Thanks for starting!

    I ordered the Kim Boyce cookbook that I've been reading about, Good to the Grain (http://www.amazon.com/Good-Grain-Baking-Whole-Grain-Flours/dp/1584798300). I'd be happy to post my experiments from that. I will probably put up a roundup of what I've been getting in terms of advice so far at some point.

  2. I'd been thinking about buying that book too--it's been mentioned a lot recently in the food blogs I read--and that's where that olive oil cake--which was really good--came from.

    So maybe I'll buy it .. or maybe I won't since if you have it then you can just post recipes here and we can all try them?
