Reading
Bake: Essential Companion By Alison Thompson
I LOVE cooking and baking is one area I wouldn't mind scratching up on my skills, so this book by expert baker and pastry chef Alison Thompson gave me all the motivation I needed. There are scrumptious recipes for breads, pastries, cakes, muffins, scones, biscuits, slices, and desserts all beautifully photographed and printed on pretty matte paper. With detailed information on techniques, equipment, ingredients, and simple step-by-step instructions, this book is pretty much a baker's bible.
