I’m obsessed with my I bought a couple months ago, specifically about high-altitude baking. I mean, I read it like a novel.
The author-cook {} talks all about her trials with cooking at various elevations and I’m just over here nodding through it all. It’s been a joke these last few years to bake things properly, no matter what I try!
Well, I’m done trying to adjust my own sea level recipes. I’m all about following hers to the T, because they’ve been 100% successful so far.
These biscuits are now a permanently saved & hand-copied-onto-a-notecard recipe that I will always use here in Quito. They are just as fluffy-wonderful as they would be in Eugene, Oregon.
The author is incredibly thorough and detailed in each recipe, giving notes on elevations of 0; 3000; 5000; 7500 and 10,000 feet. My printable version will only show the 10,000 ingredients & instructions. If you live anywhere above sea level, seriously buy this book. And, no, the author has not asked for an endorsement nor even knows I exist. I told you I was obsessed. ;)

I am the same way with cookbooks. I just got one for my special diet and love it (fodmap diet). I can’t have wheat, so I won’t be baking it, but isn’t it great to get one that works for you. We have a special gluten-free bakery here for those that are interested: . The stores here are getting some good flours available without wheat, so that solves part of the problem. Have lots of other stuff I can’t eat. Just recently found a pizza that Bill finally likes. It’s difficult. Enjoy your blog. Makes me feel in touch. Jerri B
