I love food, especially desserts, but I hate to cook. Yes, I’ve been known to yell at kitchen utensils. Luckily for me, my husband has adopted cooking and baking as a hobby, and made it his mission to bake the perfect pound cake.
It may not be good for my waistline, but the rest of me is thrilled. He even made whipped cream from scratch recently. We had some pound cake and fresh strawberries, so naturally we needed some cream to complete the picture.
If you or someone you know shares his love of cooking, you may find these books instructive. My husband certainly has.
Cooking For Geeks: Real Science, Great Cooks, and Good Food by Jeff Potter
The King Arthur Flour Baker’s Companion: The All-purpose Baking Cookbook
And, of course, where would we be without our old friend Betty Crocker?
The library has many more to help you get inspired. Maybe you’ll be the one to perfect your favorite recipe.
