Sourdough Sensation
The Perfect Loaf  
Maurizio Leo | Albuquerque, New Mexico

If there’s one baker you want to virtually break bread with in 2017, it’s Maurizio Leo. Follow along with the “pathological sourdough baker” —as he calls himself— on his journey making the perfect loaf. Maurizio first fell in love with bread as a child working in his father’s Italian restaurant in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and now bakes naturally leavened sourdough from his home using a wild yeast starter. He even occasionally produces his own fresh flour with a manual hand-cranked mill.

Maurizio’s loaves are robust with complex flavors and exquisite crusts in earthen hues of gold and brown. The Perfect Loaf offers sourdough recipes for every level of bread baking. Especially helpful are Maurizio’s posts on techniques to mix and shape dough, his “My Baking Tools” section that includes a roundup of his favorite bread baking equipment, and the ultra-informative FAQ section that addresses working with sourdough starters.

The Southern Charmer
Wood and Spoon  
Kate Wood | Selma, Alabama

If you like pretty cakes and adorable babies, you’ll love Wood and Spoon. Self-taught baker Kate Wood is a clinical dietician by day and a creator of all things sweet by night. We’re talking pies, cookies, and cakes you’ll want to dive into fork first. Her desserts turn out just as charming as her blog posts, where she tells the tales of her adventures as a new wife and mother of two in the Heart of Dixie.

Kate’s photography is simple with minimal props and bears that mark of subtle sophistication that keeps the emphasis on the food. Cuteness alert: You may see a tiny little hand reaching in for a bite now and then.

  5. Cuisines around the world come together on my menu sheet enabling not only variety but also ease by bringing all good things in a meal. Take this Cuban dish for example. Legumes and rice provide complete protein. Moros Y Cristianos is a cuban version of the popular combo of rice and beans. It has an interesting origin. Wiki explains:

  6. my mother made biscuits by mixing all the dry ingredients with water/mild and then cooked them in a baking pan with Crisco, Best biscuits ever, However she has aged and along with other memories here biscuit recipe wandered away. Is there a chance someone in the baking community is aware of this technique?
