It's been a long time since I have added a new feed to my list or gushed about a blog here, mainly due to the limited time I have to explore new sites. But I have to tell you about Joy the Baker. I was innocently checking in books at the library a few weeks ago when I saw this:
How could I resist a book that is 'A Celebration of Butter and Sugar'? I placed a request on the book, and reluctantly put it on the shelf to fulfill someone else' request. Soon afterward, I opened my account to find that it was available, and with great enthusiasm, I took it home. I read the introduction on the bus and knew I would need to read the whole book, rather than just browsing the recipe titles for something appealing.
Joy Wilson has an engaging writing style that made me subscribe to her blog posts and podcast (yes, she's THAT cool), without even thinking about it. Her website is the same mix of humourous anecdotes, tips, and mouth-watering recipes (that in this case are not limited to baking - see this as an example). Go have a look, now!
"And what about the recipes?" I hear you ask... Well, I haven't tried any yet, but the first on the list to try is 'Single Lady Pancakes'. I know, right? Noone publishes recipes for baking yummy things for one! Fabulous! Other must-makes include 'Perfect Kettle Corn', 'Carrot Cake Pancakes', and 'S'mores Brownies'. But it's not all decadence - 'Kale and Spinach Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie' and 'Seaweed Parmesan Popcorn' sound like enough to justify your having an extra slice of cake later on... Expect to see more mention of her recipes here.
