Edd is a winner of that show everyone seems to love - The Great British Baking Show, and which I must get around to watching at some point. But the thing that really intrigues me, and which I wish ALL cookbook authors would do, is the measurements for all the recipes included are in metric, imperial, AND volume. How nice is that! The funny thing about this book...even though I have dozens of tins of every imaginable size and shape, bundt pans, springform pans, tiny pans, giant pans...I don't have the one tin (or couldn't fine the one tin) the title refers to. Ah well - it's ordered and was under $20. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 It should have been called One Tin that You Don't Have Bakes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Behemoth Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Thanks to the Luard reference in the "rest of us" thread, I just acquired Preserving, Potting, and Pickling. I also recently bought A Long and Messy Business by Rowley Leigh, mainly on the strength of the title (but also nice photos.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Behemoth Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I think the format is more common in Europe. In Germany you would find whole sections on cooking sites for “blechkuchen”. I ended up buying one with a handled lid a few years ago because the format is perfect for the type of thing you take to school and sports events and I’m a total Mutti now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And it's what I have too. Or had...until now. I mean, the Nordic ware he recommends is like $20. Of course, once on the Nordic Ware site, I couldn't resist and added a few things, which got me free shipping and a 20% discount. I now have a 1/4 sheet pan with a lid, which came in surprisingly handy as I made focaccia in it, and with the lid, I didn't have to mess around with plastic wrap to let the dough proof!

OK, to state the completely obvious, you can make 2x anything you would make in an 8x8 brownie pan. I like to make Alice Medrich brownies for a crowd, any of the Smitten Kitchen snacking cakes, that jam cake from Leite's culinaria, etc. Specifically German? I love the really traditional ones. I haven't used the below recipes, but they are in English and look pretty good: - Poppyseed streusel cake - Zwetchgendatschi - Bienenstich (this recipe is for an 8x8 version.) - Sour cherry streusel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Evelyn Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 So. My petsitter is learning to cook meals at home. She also needs to lose some weight (medication for migraines and a brain tumor have made for a serious weight gain). The good news is, she is loving cooking her own meals. And she has a good eye for recipes. She asked me for some good 'starter' cookbook ideas-and I came up blank since I've been cooking since before she was born 😵. Some suggestions would be most appreciated. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Some suggestions would be most appreciated. The Classic Italian Cookbook or Marcella's Italian Kitchen are both great; most recipes have very few ingredients, easily found, and they really teach the simplicity of good Italian cooking. OH - Marcella Hazan is the author of both. I've always liked The Way to Cook by Julia. Good explanations, great pix. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Behemoth Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 What about My Master Recipes by Patricia Wells? Good primer, results are pretty elevated and tend to be quite healthy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
