Take Notes

(3 Sterne)

The Recipes generally sound good, but the author assumes you already know how to bake. Sometimes she leaves out how hot your oven should be, sometimes she buries a vital ingredient in the directions, rather than listing it in the beginning. One recipe called for a quarter cup of yeast (!), but I think she was talking about what modern cooks call a sourdough culture. The narrators all did a good job, but I would definitely have to write out these recipes and study them to get edible results.
