Welcome to Joan of Baking

I am excited to start the New Year off with a baking blog, a good chance to share tips and recipes with family and friends. If you have requests, leave a comment and I will respond. I have had professional baking experience and training and currently teach Culinary Arts at the high school level.   I love to cook and bake and spend many of my waking hours in the kitchen. The last few years I have become very involved in a local, organic, and sustainable lifestyle. My daughters, Annie and Marah share the same interests and are both professionally involved in the food industry. Much of what I have learned the last years has been from them. Follow our stories and recipes, hope you enjoy!
