    This book is perfect for beginner bread makers or for children. It has easy to follow directions and the results are.....Delicious!!

 

 

Side note about this author...she is now 19!

This is Gretchen, Author of "In the Kitchen with Gretchen". She was 12 years old when she asked me to help her co-author her book. She loved talking to people at her book signings. She was very successful in her sales of her book. The people loved her energy and her smile.
       She is currently a Junior in high school. She runs cross country and track--very successfully. She is the top long distance runner on her team. She plays several instruments-the flute is her strongest instrument along with her voice. She is fun and outgoing.  Any money she earns from her book goes into her college fund.
    She appreciates all the support her readers have given her. This book is a great gift to grand-kids or to anyone wanting to learn to bake homemade bread.

**2020- Gretchen is now attending college... She is a Culinary Arts Major!
