'Tis the Season for Baking!
The cool, brisk weather of winter is the finest time of the year to squirrel away to the kitchen and bake. This past Sunday morning, we began our winter baking season with a recently-revised classic, The Italian Baker by Carol Field. Chef Lawren Moneta transported guests to Italy for a tour of classic Italian baked goods. Guests were impressed with the whimsical yet surprisingly easy-to-make grissini or breadsticks and they learned about the secrets of making a versatile olive oil bread.
