Your oven may take longer or shorter than I have indicated in the baking time. The baking times in this book are a suggestion. Trust your own experience with your own oven and always use an oven thermometer! Read more about this on . PRODUCTS I use organic eggs, large ones, just so you know.

No need to be a skilled ptissier. I will guide you through the hard parts, just like that. For some techniques Ill use step-by-step illustrations; for others Ill give you a clear and simple description. This book only contains goods I like to bake myself. These can be classics, but also concoctions of my own making. Recipes that I came up with, for instance, after having decided to live a little healthier from time to time.

This is why I sometimes try to bake wheat-free, sometimes gluten-free, and sometimes sugar-free, but just as often I dont. I follow my instincts, like I do in life itself, really. When, like me, you suffer from baking urges, youll notice that there is something to bake pretty much every day. I like to bake because it is relaxing. Its a nice routine during the day. Nicer, even, when you have something delicious to eat or treat.

Baking will not only make you very happy; it will make you beloved. Home Baked contains homey recipes: from spelt bread and homemade oat crackers to chic French cannels, savory Irish pies, and formidable birthday cakes brimming with sugar and whipped cream. Nothing is impossible. You can do it too. Easily. Of course, once you begin to master the basic recipes, you can start your own baking experiments; my recipes could very well offer you ideas to expand on.

This is why I will also present you recipes for all sorts of universal pie crusts and tart shells, basic pound cakes, and beginners bread, along with anything you can use to top, fill, and garnish them. In short: everything you need to get your bake on. I wish you lots of success, and fun, x YVETTE Amsterdam Paris Paris In front of the oven in the middle of the night
