It's really fun to have a convection oven, even it if it's a little convection toaster oven. It really changes the way you bake.

The two things that are going to make you a better baker without even trying are a scale and a thermometer in your oven.

We light the oven so that everyone may bake bread in it.

I find that even small changes sometimes jog you out of a mental rut.

Every time you make a fruit crisp for me, you are my favorite person in the world. It's something delicious and warm, right out of the oven. I mean, what more could anyone want? And all you're doing is taking the best fruit of the season, putting a crumb topping on it and putting it in the oven.

If you really love stuffing, wait until the turkey comes out of the oven, add some of the pan drippings to the stuffing, and bake it in a dish. That's called dressing, and that's not evil - stuffing is, though.
