Now there’s a thought: baking for flavor, texture, and nutrition with a variety of flours. This is the 2014 1st edition of the legendary award winning author . This book belongs in every bakers reference library. In an interesting turn of marketing craziness that developed over the last 15 years, the term ‘gluten-free’ was added to successive printings after the original. There, I’ve said it. Celiac issues aside, let the grain, seed, nut, corn, sorghum, rice, oat, teff, coconut, and nut flours shine in identity and flavor. I’m fortunate enough to have met a young baker who is both vegan and gluten free. She leads with a story about the flour, the sweetener, and the foraged fruit toppings and her pastries are delicious! Megan I adore your work!

Thanks to grant from the Forest Grove Metro/CEP funds, our new outdoor classroom is being used for a variety of venues. Students from 1st Grade through College have been at table many times, as well as community brunches and meals. And now, after the Introductory Culinary Mushroom Class for Agricultura Class, it looks like the space can function as a documentary film theater! How thrilling is that?

Yukon Golds for Italian Inspired Potato Salad. Alert: the Pomme Vapeur is MIA. Currently investigating its possible whereabouts. There will be a splash of Nana Cardoon Pantry Basics Red Wine Vinegar (Willamette Valley Red Wine Vinegar aged in French Oak) involved in the potato salad. And on another note, my Salted Capers got dumped by an associate.
