The first month of Baking with Julia is here! We have been looking forward to the start of the new book since fall, and here we go. I hope you like the recipes we have picked for the first month.
February 7, 2012- White Loaves, on pages 81-82. (Hosted by Laurie and Jules)
February 21, 2012- Chocolate Truffle Tartlets, on pages 382-383. (Hosted by Steph, Spike, Jaime and Jessica)
From here on out, recipes will be picked by nominations and lottery for hosts. Everyone will have a chance to host that way. We will try to choose one simple and more difficult recipe per month. Look out for a recipe nomination post at the beginning on February.
Tuesdays with Dorie 
I love the choices and can’t wait to bake with our new group!!
good choices to start with. Who doesn’t need Bread and Truffles in some form!!!
How fab that we are starting with bread and chocolate – so French! I guess I’d better get my email in to sign up.
What a great choice, I can’t wait to bake with the new group. Just send the email to sign in, I am so excited
Great choices! I’m going to work on the bread today!
Yes…bread! Oh, and don’t think I am not excited about that chocolate choice as well…lol. That said, Mark and Matt will love the chocolate choice. Such fun to get started again.
Kayte, Thanks for letting me know about this group opening up. I am so looking forward to baking with all of you.
Kayte, I did it! I ordered the book and joined the group. I wasn’t going to, my waistline is shouting NO! But hey I have to come to the party. I don’t want to be left out!
I look at it this way, Cindy. We should all lose some weight since this will only be twice a month. Right? Well, I’m sticking with that theory. ;)
I have been out of the baking game for a while, but I am excited to see this post. Looking forward to both recipes, and especially looking forward to getting my baking groove back.
I’ve sent my email to sign up and my book should arrive today. Can’t wait to get started!
Yay, Lola! I’m so glad you’re joining! I’m so looking forward to this.
Hi Lola and Susan, I’m so glad you’re both joining! I own the book already and am looking forward to the challenge.
Yeah! Glad to see you ladies joining in as well. I am very much looking forward to this one.
Hi Ladies! I look forward to seeing you more often:) My book came today and I can’t wait to get started. The chocolate tart looks divine!
Hi Everybody, feels like the first day of school, glad I remembered to bring my book!
Good Morning! Super excited to be joining you all baking this year. Totally new to
blogging and kinda new to baking so it will be an adventure for sure!
These sound like great recipes to start! Can’t wait to get back to baking, so excited :)
Great choices. I can’t wait to get started.
Yea! Glad to see you here too.
I’m so excited to be a part of this group! I really want to become a better baker – and what better way to do it?
Yay…so glad you are joining!
Hi Susan, we are going to have fun with this group!
Yea! Susan is in too!
Excellent. Will get a jump on those white loaves tonight.
Yes…bread and chocolate…my two favorite things!
Oh yeah! Might tackle them both in one day! YUM!
I’ve owned this book for several years and have only baked a few things out of it…It will be nice to put the book to work! Looking forward to baking with all of you!
Hi Kathy, just signed up, I think your biscotti inspired me, yum!
I too am excited about this! Though I’m not quite sure how it works???
Bake from the book, post on my blog…. then what? Comment here that it is posted to my blog?
There will be a weekly ‘Leave your Link’ post, called the ‘LYL’. It will go up every Tuesday. You leave your link there and thats how others will find you. :)
I am in :)
I am pushing to get the book as an early 30th birthday present, but if the hubs forgets I will buy it for myself :)
yay! can’t wait to start another book with the group :)
I’m excited to start up with the group this time around! I’m not much of an experienced baker, so this is just what I need to keep me learning =)
I am so excited to join the baking adventure this year!!!
Feeling a bit nervous – like a Freshman in a Senior’s class – but I am also excited to earn some serious bakery badges. The book came today and I have the recipes bookmarked!
Hi! So excited for a ‘Round 2’. I’m going through the book, excited to begin! Please consider this my registration as I do not see the sign up. Maybe because I’m on iPhone instead of my iMac right now.
Hi! The book just came in the mail today! Looking forward to baking along with everybody.
Yay! Sent my email to join. I am excited about the new book and to bake along with all of you! :)
This is a great book! I love that bread recipes are included.
Michele
Yay! Just signed up – Can’t wait! Good Luck everyone – this is going to be so much fun. Helen x
I have just signed up. I’m taking a pastry course at a culinary school here in DC and hope that the skills I’m learning in class will help me complete the great recipes in this book.
Cheers, Patty
Kansas represented, here…. Others in this wheat-producing state??? My mail carrier brought my book in yesterday’s mail- and I handed her a warm mini-loaf of Oatmeal molasses bread in appreciation…. She’ excited about the class and volunteered to be a taster! :) Have baked for years, always working to broaden skills and create consistent results- this opportunity is the best!! Looking forward to it!
As a side, I’ll be entering the world of blogging. Tis going to be a mighty fine year!!
“good crumbs” to all!
Carol
I love this book. It has been a great resource for years, but I’ve not used it like I want to. This group gives me the perfect opportunity and great bakers to give me ideas and help me out when those occasional failures happen.
I’m excited!!! And my family is excited even though they don’t know it yet.
Glad you are joining in too!. This is going to be fun.
My book has arrived, so glad because my library didn’t have a copy to look through while I waited
I find this to be a full range book, some very basic recipes, some more advanced with lots in the middle. I think the group will help me focus.
