dough to bread to table to tummy


Last week I attended a class at an awesome cooking store in St. Paul, Cooks of Crocus Hill. If you've never been and are local you must. You really CAN enjoy your time in the kitchen. {smile}

The class was with Zoe Francois, author of Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day and Artisan Bread in Five Minutes. My sister gave me the Healthy Bread book for Christmas so when I learned Zoe was offering a class there was no hesitation in signing up. She was so sweet and really funny! The bread she made was scrumptious. Of course they send around samples and a couple of times I caught myself thinking "would anyone notice if I take more than one piece" I was compliant and passed the platter to my right. The next day I was mixing up a batch of the master recipe. I can't wait to try out more recipes. What I love about these books is that you really can't screw it up. If I can make bread so can you.





These pics below were from my phone. I forgot to bring my camera. I was noticing during the class one of the participants kept taking lots of pictures. I thought to myself she either is a scrapper or a blogger. The latter was true. Her site is CityFarmGirl. Ambitious gal!
