The Harvest Baker

March 15, 2017

If you're trying to eat more vegetables, why not bake them into cakes and pies? Renowned author and teacher Haedrich (Dinner Pies) returns with a new collection of hearty baked goods featuring garden and farm fresh produce. There are many excellent recipes to choose from, including butternut squash crumb muffins, tomato slab pie, cauliflower Parmesan pizza, and apple pecan pound cake with maple syrup glaze. Most can be made by hand using conventional equipment--ready some elbow grease for a few directions such as "stir vigorously for 100 strokes." VERDICT Bakers will want to have this book on hand during summer and fall, when they're facing surplus squash or a glut of other fruits and vegetables. Highly recommended.
