Baking in the Time of
COVID by Sandy Robson photos by Members of COVID Comfort Facebook Group
One of the positive trends to emerge from the global pandemic has been a renewed interest in cooking and baking. People who had never picked up a paring knife or dusted a cake tin were getting busy in the kitchen. There were even shortages as we began stocking our pantries and demand soared for items, including flour and yeast. And in this hyper-connected social media age, we reached out to our online community for help tracking down essentials, sharing with each other which stores had what supplies on hand. And then came sourdough‌ the bread you could bake without yeast! It became a hot topic online, as did bread baking in general.
