Let’s just say yum! Where do I start? First of all I am not a baker, only at the holidays. Not from lack of wanting to, just lack of time. When I was offered the review I was excited to try out my new oven, it’s been a long time coming.
Here is some background:
The Clinton St. Baking Company is one of the hottest brunch spots in a city obsessed with brunch. A tiny thirty-two-seat eatery on Manhattan’s trendy Lower East Side, the restaurant draws long lines of customers who come from far and wide to sample fresh-baked goods, hearty omelets, sugar-cured bacon, and light-as-air pancakes with maple butter.
In the Clinton St. Baking Company Cookbook, owners DeDe Lahman and Neil Kleinberg share more than 100 treasured recipes that have made their restaurant a sensation. Learn the secret to their house-made buttermilk biscuits and tomato jam, irresistible muffins and scones, delicious soups and sandwiches, and their decadent, eye-catching desserts. Helpful techniques, like Neil’s patented omelet “flip and tuck,” and gorgeous color photographs throughout will have readers cooking like pros in no time, and sharing the delicious results.
I found it interesting that after you have all the ingredients mixed you smooth out the mix and freeze it for 20 minutes. Now I’m not a baker so this was new to me. It did make scooping it out onto a cookie sheet with an ice cream scoop quite easy.
Disclosure: I recieved a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review. No other compensation was received and all words/thoughts are my own.
