Coconut Quick Bread




I was browsing through my tumblr feed and happened upon this Food52 Coconut quickbread recipe. I decided to try it with wonderful results! Maybe you will like it too. It does call for lemon zest. Apparently there are at least 3 ways to zest a lemon or lime. I just used a vegetable peeler but daughter L informed me that I can also use a grate, the preferred method when baking. In any case we all loved it.

Do you still use recipe books? I have a lot of them, but lately it seems easier to find recipes online.

Love, love, love coconut.

Yes, I still use cookery and bake books. And I still use reference books as well. In fact, Tim bought me a nice stack of new books just for staycation.

Have a Yummy Day!

That looks delicious. I wonder what would happen if I poured the batter into a 9x13 inch pan. Less baking time.

Gigi I'm sure it would be fine but it's handy to have a loaf pan too.

I rarely use a cookbook any more. After so many years of cooking I have a pretty good idea of ingredients that go together, so sometimes I'll come up with my own idea. Other times I find something on the internet.
