Rootbeer Bunt Cake

I am loving this cookbook-
Baked-new frontiers in baking
I have made a couple of things in this book and this is one of my favorites-

This book is written by two guys who own a bakery in Brooklyn. They are famous for their brownie recipe - which is next on my "to bake" list. It is also on my places I must visit when I am in NYC next.

Tomato Basil Pasta Sauce

Moving forward with the goal of making something from every cookbook I own. I have given up on it for a while but I am recommitted.  

This recipe for tomato basil sauce is from the Williams Sonoma book 

The Art of Preserving 

The tomatoes and basil were both from my garden.

This was my very first try at any sort of preserving so I had to go out and buy all of the equipment - giant canning pot with a rack, bottles and misc cooks tools.  I also purchased this tomato press to use.  It was so much fun to use.  I loved using it so much that I am going to try another recipe from this book for ketchup this weekend.
