I'm not exactly new to baking, I've dabbled in bread baking for a few years. I'm on my second bread machine, a Zojirushi. My first ended up on eBay. For some reason, I have a renewed enthusiasm for baking. I've also accumulated several books, including the Bread Bakers Apprentice, which I haven't attempted yet, and The Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook, which I have had excellent results with every recipe I've tried.

I love the beautiful pictures on this site, which is probably why I keep coming back. It gives me such encouragement to keep trying on my own. I love hearing others experiences and learning new tips.
