Jess861 This looks delicious! 1w

Tamra @Christine all of the recipes are easy to follow and not demanding. Definitely for the home baker with average skills. I also like to support King Arthur products because the company is employee owned. 😁 You can find a lot of recipes on their website. (edited) 1w

Christine I love them too and some of their website recipes are go-tos for me! Have put the book on hold at the library as average-skills baking is definitely all I have the bandwidth for these days! 1w

Deblovestoread Yum! And good to know about the cookbook! 1w

LeahBergen That looks wonderful! 1w

youneverarrived Coffee cake 😋 looks so nice 7d

mabell Yum! I really should have this book! I use their site all the time for recipes. Especially when I need something that I know will turn out! 6d

Tamra @mabell check it out from the library if you can. I know I would gift it to anyone interested in baking. 😁 5d

Potato Chip Cookies (‘Kettle Cooked‘ and with oats)
This is quirky and I love it! They‘re chewy from the oats but crunchy. Sweet, but salty. I used the longer cook time because I prefer crunchy cookies.
Tweaks: I cut the sugar in half.
Recipe here: www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/potato-chip-cookies-recipe

dabbe My husband LOVES King Arthur! He's making sourdough bread with flour from them as I type this. 🤩🤗😀 9mo

JenniferEgnor @dabbe me too! I‘ve been using their products for years. They just announced on their socials they have a new book coming out: a bread book! 9mo

dabbe @JenniferEgnor Oh, lordy; I'll have to get it for him! Thanks. 🤗 9mo

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

Husband‘s request and I happened to have all the ingredients on hand. Now the fam‘s sweet teeth are all satisfied for the weekend!

This challenge is doing wonders for checking my books before the interwebs. 😊 #Mtcookbook

mabell I wonder if this was the same recipe as their 2023 Recipe of the Year? I made the original and the chocolate version (that was rich!) 11mo

See All 12 Comments

Tamra @mabell I don‘t know - but it‘s definitely rich! Half of the volume is the crumb. 😮 11mo

mabell Yes! That must be the same! They came out with 10 variations last year, and one was Crumb Lovers - with double the crumb! And we thought the original had too much 😂 A really yummy recipe! I think I‘ll try it again next weekend! 11mo

Tamra @mabell go for it! Happy to enable. 😉 My family loves it, but it‘s an easy win because they like sugar. Me, not so much. I‘d prefer a bag of Cheetos.😂 If you don‘t have the book I‘m happy to post a close-up pic of the recipes or email it to you. (edited) 11mo

mabell @Tamra That would be great, thank you! I‘m curious to see what the version in the book is like! Would you like to post it in the google doc? Or email it? (purple_3@yahoo.com) Whatever is easiest for you 😊 11mo

batsy I'd love both a slice of that cake and Cheetos 😂 11mo

Tamra @mabell I keep forgetting about the Google doc! I uploaded a photo to it. Let me know if it doesn‘t appear on your end. 😄 11mo

Tamra @batsy ☺️ 11mo

Do yourself a favor and make these banana chocolate chip muffins! The whole-wheat makes them healthy right?

Love this baking Bible! Cranberry bread is perfect - not too sweet.

Cathythoughts Cake looks really good ! This book looks tried & trusted 👍🏻❤️ 4y

Tamra @Cathythoughts I‘m not much of a baker, but this is a book that offers a lot of approachable recipes for anyone who dabbles and just wants to feed the family after school snacks. 😁 4y

IamIamIam 👀 Going to have to keep an eye out for this one! 4y

Tamra @IamIamIam do you have the book? 4y

IamIamIam @Tamra Surprisingly, this isn't part of my collection yet but I'm always on the lookout for great used cookbooks or gift ideas! 4y

Tamra @IamIamIam You might check it out from the library to make sure it‘s a good fit. It‘s a bit of an investment new. I see on Abe Books you can get a copy for $21 in the US. 👍🏾 4y

IamIamIam @Tamra That's not terrible!! I usually make a list for our summer trip to Connecticut & the Book Barn visit. 😁 My birthday is coming up, though, and I love the recipes they print in the catalog. I'll definitely stop by the library to take a look, though! Definitely post anything else you make! 4y

Tamra @IamIamIam this would make yourself a nice gift! The recipes seem to be well tested, tried & true. I make the oatmeal honey bread at least e/o day on the bread machine. My husband says it‘s the best ever. I didn‘t know they had a catalog, I need to check it out. 4y

I‘ve tried to get started with sourdough before, but the voice of this cookbook finally got through to me. The recipes are precise (the chocolate cake recipe specifies the size for round vs square pan) and the sourdough advice is both scientific AND low pressure. Reading this makes you feel both well educated and reassured. All the 🌟s!

Christine I really love their online recipes for similar reasons. Must check out the book! 4y

Because I have no self control. I love the scientific explanations and tips!

This baker‘s companion doubles as a door stop. 😉

mandarchy Oh no! I should be gluten free... but now I want this book to go with all of the flour I ended up with in the pandemic-panic. I didn't mean to buy so much, but my son had an OT assignment to make playdo and every store was out - except Costco. 4y

Tamra @Lauram they do sound so good! I‘m not that ambitious of a baker, but maybe down the road when I have more time. 😋 4y

Tamra @Daisey check it out from the library if you can to see if it works for you! 4y

Tamra @mandarchy yikes! Maybe you can bake & freeze for your son? 4y

readordierachel Ooooh 😍 4y

Tamra @readordierachel it‘s worthy of adoration. It is a book that should last anyone a lifetime and pass along. 4y
