Interviews

"It’s just a bummer that baking at altitude requires so much trial and error. You put something in the oven, tasting great and looking right, and then your oven (and mine too) pulls some kind of mean magic trick in there. The good news is that baking is a science, and high-altitude baking has solutions. I’m here to show them to you."
