“I like to bake, I’m not a bad baker, but cookies would do their usual thing – they’d spread, I was using nonstick pans, and I just didn’t know what was going wrong. Now I know why from learning the science behind baking! I tell everybody that if they want a recipe, HTH should be their go-to place to start!” – Becky Rudella
