Shop Notes:

Folks, I really can't say enough about this book - Kelly Fields' wit and energy (and shared love of 80s/90s punk music) makes me want to get in the kitchen and break every New Year's resolution I've ever had.

What I love is that she doesn't try to be too cheffy, yet her advice on ingredients and method really will elevate your baked goods. This book has one foot lovingly rooted in fun and nostalgia, but pushes home baking into next-level ingredients and methods. While I wouldn't recommend this book necessarily as a starter for beginning bakers, it's certainly something folks could grow into quickly once they have a good understanding of some basic skills and are ready to bring things up a level.
