Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Triple chocolate brownie fingers

    • bwhip on September 05, 2023

      These are amazingly good. Super chocolatey - too much so for my wife, but I’m sure not complaining :). A few steps and a decent amount of time involved, but the results are spectacular, both in flavor and appearance. Not really difficult. Looking forward to trying many more recipes from this cookbook.

  • Oat and flaxseed loaf

    • bwhip on September 05, 2023

      Excellent recipe, the bread turned out great! It does make a pretty small loaf. I have a larger loaf pan I use for making sandwich bread, and so i increased quantities by 50%, and adjusted baking time a bit. It was still pretty small for the pan. The flavor and texture were quite perfect, with just the right amount of crispy and chewy. I’ll definitely make this bread again, though I’ll probably double the recipe.
