This month, @RainyDayBites’ Instagram-based cookbook baked from Sweet by Yotam Ottolenghi and Helen Goh. There have been some pretty impressive bakes and a whole lotta butter spread across several feeds. The two challenges for the month were Blackberry and Star Anise Friands (p. 103) and Take Home Chocolate Cake (p. 152).
I don’t consider myself an accomplished baker by any stretch, but I can follow directions like nobody’s business. What I learned over the several bakes I tackled was that it’s worth it to get new, nonstick pans and have plenty of parchment paper and butter on hand.
Here are some of my favorites. See more on Instagram at #rainydaybitescookbookclub.
In June, the club will be cooking from Diana Henry’s How to Eat a Peach.
