Baking vs. Cooking

Posted by joyyy, January 12, 2009 at 10:32 AM

I don't even like to eat cake or cupcakes, and part of why I've been able to avoid the college-days weight yo-yo is not keeping sweets in the house ... so I never really thought I would be into baking. Especially since I live at high altitude (and turned my mother's delicious orange bread recipe into an orange brick ...).

But after making my own granola and my fabulously successful foray into making my own biscotti last night ... I think I need to change my attitude a bit. I think I'll continue to make my own granola, and now my own biscotti, as long as I find myself cooking. Most breads are probably out of the question though (alititude), expect quick breads (beer, banana, etc). I never bother with cookies since it's probably safer to do so :P ... but I will keep on the look out for non-yeast like recipes that won't wreck my now better eating habits.

Do you bake? More than you cook? Do you see cooking and baking as separate things or does all of it just feel like "creating delicious food" to you?
