It has to start sometime!

So here I go. I have worked as a cook and baker for 3 years and cooked/baked recreationally as long as I can remember.  I love food. Making it, reading about it, looking at it, eating it, talking about it, sharing it. There is something about the creation of sustenance from products of the earth that I absolutely adore. Creating, sustaining and growing. Mmmm-mmm-good.

So here I am. I have been working on creating a bread program at the coffee shop where I bake/cook.  I have developed a couple of breads and crackers that we sell by the loaf, as well as breads that we use for our sandwiches. I have more breads I want to be able to produce for the shop, but I need to develop and perfect the recipes. Darn. I get to play in Breadland at home. And while I am in the kitchen, I’ll make things to go with by bread! Meals, desserts, I want to make it all.

So this is my way of tracking my progress. I am a few years into the learning process, so you won’t have to pain through the basic learning with me (I already went through that…in fact, in ways I still am!).  I am here to document what I am doing and how I am doing it. Food is meant to be shared so here I am setting my table.
