I was going to announce that One Good Loaf is 100 members strong, but yesterday we topped that. It's very exciting to see all of the beautiful photos (I've especially admired the amazing holiday breads) shared in the group pool. So inspiring!
Now that the holidays are behind us, we in colder climates continue to focus on nourishing ourselves and our families through the remaining cold months. Here is a book to take you from winter to spring, with a basic bread primer, to herbed chicken pot pie, to a classic yellow layer cake that will grace your easter table.
The Art & Soul of Baking, by Cindy Mushet, is the latest addition to Sur la Table's cookbook series and was selected as the October '08 choice of the Gourmet Magazine Cookbook club.
This is a beautifully photographed and written book with practical advice on baking ingredients and tools. Thanks to the good people at Andrews McMeel publishing, we have a copy to giveaway this week to one of our group members.
To be eligible to win you must be a member of our flickr group pool. We are always open to home bakers of all experience levels -- to join please sign up for a free flickr account and follow the 'join us' prompt to flickr mail. New members are usually added the same day.
Interested members please leave a comment on this post about what you plan to bake next. Please, one comment only.
We'll keep it open all week. Comments will be closed Friday, January 16 at 5 pm (EST). Shortly thereafter I will announce a winner of this gorgeous book.
Bake on!
