Ruth's White Face Ibis
Sep 30, 2007 | From the kitchen of Rose
My dear friend Ruth, of Montecastelli in Tuscany, where will be in just a few weeks, www.montecastelli.com is an incredibly talented photographer. She rarely sends me an e-mail without including her latest visual splendor and this one, captured at Mono Lake in the Eastern Sierras just East of Yosemite National Park, I just had to share with you.

i find the buttermilk powder does not contribute the flavor of natural buttermilk so i would have to say no.

can i use a mixture of buttermilk powder and water in place of buttermilk/yogurt/sourcream in baking? will it change the product in any way?

Hector - Berryville is just next door!
Rose - the 3 PBS stations we get here are broadcast from Washington DC and Maryland.

Hector - as soon as I deleted the program I realized I should have saved it in the event that someone might ask for a copy... sorry!
Rose - I live in Virginia. We get 3 different PBS stations here (not sure which one it aired on).

I keep calling my local PBS, so far no luck!
Patrincia, if you manage to send me tape, I can put it on DVD!

Rose - I've been patiently waiting for my TiVo to surprise me one day with "baking Magic", but so far nothing. However, I was delighted the other day to catch a segment you did for J&W Master Class. You are such a good teacher - can't wait to see the dvd that will accompany your new cake book.

Rose or one of her helpful readers,
I am looking for durum flour for Rose's pugliese in the bread bible. We have some great markets here, but all I can find is semolina (which I believe is durum, but more coarse). The only place I've found durum is online at KAF. But it seems silly to pay $5.95 in shipping for $3.95 of flour! Any other suggestions?

A clear example that photography can portray a subject well. Similar effect with my 4 slices of Ethereal Pear Charlotte!
