How to Bake
The old adage 'if you can read you can cook' is not really true. You must learn the language of the kitchen, how to read a recipe, measuring techniques, and doneness criteria before turning out a masterpiece. By the end of this course you will have baked coffeecake, cornbread, cookies, and an easy chocolate cake. Let's get started!
More How to Bake
Once you have completed How to Bake, start on the intermediate email lesson series. You'll learn about muffins, yeast breads, popovers, cream puffs, layer cakes and pies, with recipes and encouragement along the way.
