Since there is just the two of us--AppleJack and me--baking at our house is a challenge. Most recipes are written with six to eight servings in mind. While the first serving is warm, tasty and delicious, the second serving is a nice left over, servings number three, four five and up and not so tasty and are either not eaten or left forever on the hips.
While making an early morning run through the grocery store, I spied this magazine at the check out counter. I am a sucker for magazines at the check out. Those clever marketing people get me every time. Last fall during the Southern Festival of Books, I listed to Bridget Lancaster who is part of America's Test Kitchen--she was warm and funny and delightful.
Yes, the magazine went into my shopping cart and I am enjoying reading each and every recipe and can't wait to smell some wonderful aromas coming from our kitchen. Two servings--let me know what you think. And. . . like with all the Test Kitchen magazines, they have some wonderful tips are improving your baking skills.
Thanks! I was planning on ordering Small Batch Baking's books, will add this too.
ReplyDeleteI saw that magazine, too, but passed it up. Maybe I'd better go back and get it! :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat magazine! I need to look for one myself! America's Test Kitchen is a really good source!
ReplyDeleteI just saw that today and was in too much of a hurry to check it out. Keep us posted.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good thing. Let us know what you think when you have tested some of the recipes.
ReplyDeleteI need to get that magazine. I often have a desire for something sweet ... but just a little something. This would be perfect so we're not facing the temptation of 6 or more servings calling our names.
ReplyDeleteAlready have mine have yet to make items was hoping just looking at the pictures would fill me up so I could avoid the calories but that does not seem to work.
ReplyDeletethanks for the tip - my DH and I are a party of two as well. I'll check and see if my local store has it.
ReplyDeleteLove America's Test Kitchen recipes. I will have to look for this one. Since my DH was diagnosed with diabetes I do not bake very often. I could make something for myself and not have a lot leftover.
ReplyDeleteI am a sucker for magazines, the cooking kind get me the most, I need to use blinders at the check-out.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great issue.

I was just contemplating that magazine this week. I didn't buy it because I got sucked in to buying a Martha Stewart Living anniversary issue (pricey!) and it was such a disappointment. So, I had will power when I should have given in. Thanks for the good review and that baking issue will be mine next trip. MSL is going in the recycling bin.
