Holiday baking

Baking success – Breadfruit Pudding with Passionfruit Sauce (Photo by Cynthia Nelson)

We use our ovens all year round for baking but at this time of the year, we really give them a workout. There are breads, cakes, pies, cookies, roasts, and casseroles to be made. Often, we have more than one thing in the oven at the same time on different shelves, sometimes with each requiring a different cooking time. This is also the time of the year when people decide to make a change and get a new stove-oven for exactly the reasons I mentioned above. They want holiday baking success.
