King Arthur Flour 200th Anniversary Cookbook

Flour. The most basic ingredient in bread, cake, cookies, pasta. And still, the most easily overlooked. For years, I just picked up whatever happened to be on sale at the grocery store, and never gave my selection a second thought.

But then, someone suggested looking at the King Arthur website, where you could order specialty flours, along with other baking items. I still thought it a trifle silly--ordering flour through the mail? But perhaps serious bread bakers would be tempted--not me.

Fast forward a couple of years, and my new husband insists on King Arthur flour--"It really is the best," he says seriously, before launching into an explanation of protein ratios and how they affect rising and baking, etc. etc. I try, and I'm hooked. I always love getting their mail-catalog, with wonderful recipes and photos in every issue (their workers are some of the most wholesome looking people I've ever seen! must be all that homemade bread!)

So, this year for Christmas, I bought a copy of the King Arthur Flour 200th Anniversary Cookbook for my husband. (Angling to get more bread? You bet!) Plentiful recipes for bread, cakes, pies, cookies, rolls...if you have a sweet tooth, buy this book.
