Hi. I'm new to the group. I love to bake and I was interested in
creating my own recipe. However, since I've never done this before I
need a few pointers. Does anyone know of any websites or books that
could help me with this? Thank you!

In my opinion, the most helpful book for baking would be:
"Cookwise" by Shirley Corriher

Also check out: "On food and Cooking" by Harold McGee

These will give you information about how baking and cooking and
ingredients work, so you can alter or create recipes from a
knowledgeable standpoint, not just trial and error.

Now THIS is a post that has helped me learn something useful! Thank you,
Betsy.

It only means one thing that you never had been able to create new
recipe but may have just made modifications of existing ones which you
claim as your own....

That is unless/until Bakewise comes out I need to check and see what's
going on with that one...

<Smile> Okay. No problem.
