(More customer reviews)I heard about this book through the Splendid Table and, as usual, Lynne Rossetto Kasper was not wrong. Nicole Rees complies and updates some favorites from her kitchen. As she points out in the introduction, as a professional foodie, she has a million gizmos and gadgets in her kitchen, but it is the simple, no fuss recipes she turns to when she wants comfort foods that make her kitchen whole.
And these recipes provide a lot of comfort!
Already, thanks to Ms. Rees, I have ordered Lyle's Golden Syrup so I can make better ANZAC cookies. For the ones I made from her recipe (pg 99), I substituted Agave Nectar. They were great, but I wonder if the Lyle's will make them even better. Tomorrow, I will find out. I also made her PB&C Brownies today, which define "decadent" in a dessert.
I've used my great-grandmother's spoon to make some of the recipes, and I've used my Kitchenaid mixer on a few. In the short time I have had this book, I have done a lot of baking. With the subzero temperatures we have been experiencing, the baking has been a balm to my soul. My kids are thrilled with the treats, my husband is happy and I am really enjoying myself in the kitchen again. Rees's recipes focus on the simple joys of baking and eating, which is a welcomed break from some of the overly complex cookbooks out there.
I can see Baking Unplugged becoming a well-worn family favorite.
