“Sometimes Paris felt his whole life was in slow motion with ominous music playing over it.”

Paris Daillencourt is About to Crumble (Winner Bakes All, #2) by Alexis Hall

December 30, 2022 by narfna 2 Comments

I don’t think this is a book anybody but Alexis Hall could have pulled off. This is a romance and a book about a baking competition, yes, but it’s also a book about a person with severe anxiety, and what that anxiety does to his relationships with the people around him. Paris isn’t an easy character to like, and his story isn’t an easy ride. But it was worth it! Paris Daillencourt ends up on Bake Expectations because his flatmate secretly put him up for […]

The Great British Baking Show Favorite Flavors by Paul Hollywood, Prue Leith, 2022 bakers

November 24, 2022 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

So the Great British Bake Off aka Great British Baking Show books have been kind of hit or miss; more miss lately, but thankfully, in spite of some unfortunate decisions during the actual series, the book is back to what it should be: cool bakes that are actually achievable and useful to an average home baker. The Great British Baking Show: Favorite Flavors has a lot of things I think I both can and actually want to try. Before I get into the good stuff, […]

Now I’m hungry

Dessert Person: Recipes and Guidance for Baking With Confidence by Claire Saffitz

August 1, 2022 by ElCicco Leave a Comment

Cbr14bingo Dough BINGO (row 3) While I enjoy cooking shows, I don’t consider myself much of a cook. It isn’t that I’m not interested in improving my skills, it’s just that learning to cook full meals feels overwhelming. It seems like I’m always missing some important ingredient or kitchen tool, plus my kids have a variety of food allergies and intolerances that put some tough limits on me. Baking is one thing I have always enjoyed though and have been willing to take some risks […]

Literally dough, but it mostly looks tasty

Bake: My best ever recipes for the classics by Paul Hollywood

July 20, 2022 by CoffeeShopReader 1 Comment

For this the first review of Bingo, I have gone level 1 literal for the Dough. So I was in the UK in a bookstore and they had both the signed version and the 50% off version of Paul Hollywood’s new book Bake: My best ever recipes for the classics; guess which one I went for? Anyways, some of the recipes are repeats but there’s enough new interesting things to bake that I might be able to bake my way through this one for the […]

A teenage wizard girl and her somewhat sentient cookie and sourdough do big stuff

A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher

February 27, 2022 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I was a little late to the A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking, but I’m glad I finally got it; this one is both fun and a little inventive. The basic story is plucky heroine with limited resources faces off against unknown and then known end-of-the-world kind of badness, and triumphs with the help of some friends. Said heroine is 14-year-old Mona, who lives as a magic user in a world mostly suspicious of magic. Mona’s magic only works on baked goods, which is just […]

Cookies for a cause: the best kind

Smash the Pastry-archy by Planned Parenthood

December 18, 2021 by Bothari43 4 Comments

The Georgia Planned Parenthood was selling these as a fundraiser, and I was more than happy to participate and support! Each recipe is from an Atlanta-area restaurant or bakery. I’ve tried three of the recipes so far. Two are definite keepers (the peanut butter chocolate chip pretzel ones from JC’s Cookies were the best, and the ginger shortbread thumbprint cookies from Banshee were very good), and one I probably won’t make again (the strawberry shortcake ones from Kimball House were an odd consistency). But I’m […]
