Hello dear readers. I’ve been a little distracted of late, and sadly have not been keeping you as entertained as I should have. I am pleased however to let you know that you can now double your enjoyment of me, by joining me not just through my photographic adventures through nature, but also by joining me in my home. No! this is not some sort of web cam venture. It’s a cooking blog. You can join me as I learn to bake bread, and also I will share with you some of my more established recipes, like Bolete Stroagnoff (they’re a type of wild mushroom, but you can easily substitute others such as chanterelles). Unfortunately many of my early cooking and baking pictures were just quick simple snaps with my phone, but now that I know I will be blogging about it, I will start taking more official photographs with the heavy artillery.
So come and join me in my Adventures in Bread
My very first loaf. What a beauty, and so simple to make
Nice looking loaf, Galen. Do you have a bread oven?
Thanks. No bread oven. I use a dutch oven. The small, enclosed space with the heavy lid creates a steam bath around the loaf as it bakes, giving it a lovely crustiness.
Oh, my goodness….I had a piece of Galen’s bread today….absolutely delicious!!!
How did I miss this? My father was a baker in the old European tradition, I love to bake bread. It will spoil you for anything from the store. I look forward to your foodie adventures!
