From Scratch
There’s something special about baking from scratch.
And if you’re looking for a cookbook filled with recipes for homespun treats, The Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook is about as good as it gets.
When I first spotted this cookbook, I was struck by the evocative writing and beautiful images. Full of delectable recipes and personal stories, it inspires a wave of nostalgia for those childhood days spent baking at my grandmother and mother’s side.
In today’s busy world, it can be tough finding the time to bake from scratch, but when I do, I always end up reflecting on what a gift it is.
The gift of slowing down. The gift of creating something with your own hands. The gift of sharing with those you love.
And authors Cheryl and Griffith Day have gifted us with this cookbook. As they write, “…we are inviting those who can’t make it to our bakery to slow down and taste the sweet life in their own kitchens.”
