Pepperplate announced it will now cost $2.99 a month to store recipes. No way I'm paying that much, and I expect the site will be gone entirely before long because most users will feel the same way. I have about 150 stored recipes that I've been able to access...

Help. I substituted garbanzo bean flour (1cup worth) from my normal recipe of 4 cups of white wheat bread - so 3 cups wheat and 1 cup garbanzo flour. Dough was proper consistency (sticky but not wet ) but while it did rise it was still heavy and dense. I...

Having received excellent feedback on my first go at sourdough rye bread, I'm looking to branch out. Unfortunately, rye flour is hard to find and rye meal is so far non-extant. WF* and HT have Arrowhead rye flour in small bags, which is okay, but I'd like to find a...

All - I'm making a cake that calls for candied rose petals. I need to find some that are pesticide free however so I'd like to ask if anyone knows of a source in the Northern VA/DC area. I figure I'll try Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, and perhaps call...
Read moreAbout Me
I love food. Unfortunately, I can't cook worth a damn. I've been known to even burn water.
When I watch chefs and good cooks on tv, I'm so envious of their skills. This blog is the closest I get to cooking, other than the microwave ;)
Try not to drool!
