Hey all you guys!!!

I just won my first baking contest! (It wasn't bread, though.) I made key lime pies and won all three categories (Taste, Presentation, and Creativity) in my little local bake off!! And I got a $50 gift card for each category, for a total of $150 in prize money!

 

I just wanted to share that with all you bakers out there!

Yeast Bread Recipes reflecting your state's heritage, its people and culture.

Hello everyone:

My name is Steven King and like you, I am an amateur bread baker.  I am currently working on a bread baking book (I have purlished before and have written extensivley).  A bread baking book with a twist.  I am looking for yeast bread recipes that reflect the culture, heritage and people of your state.  Additionally, the recipe must include a story - the story behined the recipe.  3 recipes will be selected from each state for publishing and the winners will receive an autographed copy of the book, their picture will be posted along with their submission.  The ingredients must be readily attainable (if obtained online, please furnish the web address).   Recipes will be judged on instruction clarity, appearance, flavor, authenticity and accompanying storyline. 

Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.  My direct email address, should you need it, is itsgoode2bking@gmail.com

Join in the Breadline Africa Worldwide Blogger Bake Off


I don't know if any of the Fresh Loafians (thank you, Mark, for such an excellent term!) has already talked about this - there are SO many posts here!! But even so, it bears repeating:

The Breadline Africa Worldwide Blogger Bake Off was created and began on 15 October 2008. (It ends on 15 October 2009 or when US$1 million has been raised, whichever occurs first.) With our support, Breadline Africa can "convert shipping containers into locations for food production and distribution. These sustainable community kitchens will not only provide foods such as bread and soup to those in need, but also opportunities for skills development within these poor communities".

And here's where we come in:
