Rolling in Dough

Bon Vivant is now a year old - I've learned a lot, met some awesome and inspiring food bloggers and tried some fantastic recipes. But in winding my way through the wonderful world of food writing, I've been thinking about what it is that I really love, and the answer is simply "Baking". Baking is truly Zen for me. I love how centered I become when I'm in the kitchen, spending some quality time with my oven. I love the flavors and smells that take over the house when I've made something wonderful. I am mesmerized by displays of beautiful tarts and cakes and I think that warm bread fresh from the oven is absolutely the best smell on Earth. So, because I believe that life is about pursuing your passion, Bon Vivant is becoming "Rolling in Dough" - baking and writing about breads, cakes, tarts, quiches, candy, cookies and all of the wonderful and beautiful things you might encounter in a bakery or pastry shop. I'll have recipes, conversation, research and ideas for baking lovers to drop by and indulge in. And I plan to stretch a little, trying some new techniques and flavor combinations. I hope you will stop back often to see what's in the oven. Cheers!
