''I've been buying these delicious goodies ever since they were at the farmers market in Northfield. The banana bread is off the charts but my personal favorite is the carrot cake! It's so moist and full of fresh spices and NO RAISINS. So glad that this is available at Sunset Foods since the farmers markets are few
and far between! And don't forget to try the brownies and lemon cake - both are the absolutely
delicious!''

Be Prepared....

Weigh and/or measure every ingredient and have each one out in clear bowls before you start. The French call it Mise en place ([mi zɑ̃ ˈplas]) and it means "putting in place" or "everything in its place.” It refers to the setup required beforehand and is often used in professional kitchens to refer to organizing and arranging the ingredients. You can find clear and inexpensive light weight bowls at Bed Bath & Beyond or other home goods stores. Make sure you buy very small bowls, too, for vanilla, salt and baking soda/powder and other smaller quantity items. That way if your own hungry monkey interrupts, or you get a call or the doorbell rings, you won’t waste ingredients; it’s the worst when you can’t remember if you added the baking soda in or if you put in four or five cups of flour.
