RLB's baking blog

[JeanneCake]

I got an email today with information about Rose Levy Beranbaum's blog, called Realbakingwithrose.com; I spent a little time checking it out and it's interesting. It's sponsored by Gold Medal Flour, and has some recipes and links to baking sites (egullet among them).

In case you want to check it out: RLB's baking blog

Thanks for the link! I'm looking forward to trying out her favorite yellow cake recipe.

How many food people could be so definitively identified by only their initials as in the title of this thread! Thanks for the link.

And if any of you have the chance, her TV series is well worth watching. It's all about the baking, no jazzed up "production" tricks. I like her dry, down to business attitude (Oh how sick I am of people's families and personal lives -and sometimes even their distinctive personalities. When I watch a cooking show. I want to see them bake/cook - and that's what RLB does. -And yes, I'm aware mine is a minority view and that's why she's only on my local stations once while Lydia Bastianich is played over and over again on all of them. Peace: I'm not slamming Lydia, only saying I'm only interested in what she cooks, not her family life.)

And I've never been able to see her PBS show! How frustrating. I've never been able to master tart dough (getting it to not shrink on the sides, I've tried so many formulas that I know it has to be me that's doing something wrong - and it could be the mixing, or maybe fitting it into the tart pan, or maybe I'm just a klutz at tart dough and should not even attempt this anymore!) and how I wish I could see that in action!!!

Maybe someone ... Annie? Wendy? please would someone do a demo thread on tart dough (pate sucree) so I can figure out what I'm doing wrong?

On her blog she says she responds personally to emails and gives a link. Why don't you pose your question to her directly?

Very cool! Thanks for the post JeanneCake. I've just recently started getting into the Cake Bible after tasting a fellow student's cake in a class I'm taking. I'm totally loving this book. I love all the why we do what we do sections. Sooo much info.

Have you read this thread and tried Annie's recipe? I've tried it a few times and haven't had the shrinkage problem.
