This week, Kim O'Donnel will lead a discussion of baking — crisps, cobblers, cakes, cookies, pies, bread, crackers, rolls, and so on. [[block(sidebar). h1.Featured recipe]] Bring your own tips, suggestions, favorite recipes, and of course your questions. Join the chat on Thursday, October 28, at 10 a.m. PT, 1 p.m. ET.
