you don't have to bake alone

so few people actually cook or bake any more, i know. and some of you, dear readers, have written me about your devotion to the lonely pursuit of better bread and baking. naturally here at bccy i encourage everyone as best i can, but sometimes you want a more immediate and local response. someone with whom you can work out recipes, experiment, bounce ideas around, split the cost of 2 kilos of premium chocolate.

this is why i'm alerting you to the baker's dozen clubs. founded more than 10 years ago in the bay area by marion cunningham, author of the revised fannie farmer cookbook, and including quite a few famous pastry chefs, it has spread across the country. there are a number of local groups now. and if there isn't one in your area, you can start your own.

as for myself, i'm afraid i don't have much time any more for outside groups. baking for mr. right and making my yoga lessons is about all i can manage without stressing out! pity. . .
