Bryony (bryony46) | 350 comments Thanks Diana, I wasn't quite sure how the rules worked for this. I know if you need to read a certain number of pages the ebook won't work, but I wasn't sure about tasks where you need to find a certain number in the page count.

Back to the drawing board! I may find a recipe I'm actually confident enough to bake too!

Val | 435 comments " Line the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on two opposite sides."

Would "line" work for option B?


message 53: by Diana (new)

Diana Keener | 798 comments Yes, that works.

frugalitymom  (frugalitymom) For my recipe for glazed doughnuts in the instructions it says Fry would this book work Deep Fried Homicide


message 55: by Diana (new)

Diana Keener | 798 comments I'm sorry but it won't.: the task specifies no variations on the verb.


message 56: by frugalitymom (new)

frugalitymom  (frugalitymom) Ok thank you

Nicola | 1360 comments Will 'powder' work for baking powder?


message 58: by Diana (new)

Diana Keener | 798 comments I'm sorry but no. The ingredient is baking powder.

Brigia | 453 comments Would a pizza count as a baked good?

Ah ok. I noticed that you had approved 'lemon' for 'lemon zest' so I thought that it would be alright but that I would check. Could I ask why one is ok and not the other so I'll know for future searches and not have to keep checking?


message 61: by Diana (new)

Diana Keener | 798 comments I approved it because the zest is part of the lemon, so you need to have a lemon to be able to get the zest from it, which you do by grating the lemon peel. Baking powder is something specific and not just any powder would work, such as talcum powder, gunpowder and so on. Does that make sense?

Melissa (balletbookworm) | 915 comments Would a quiche work as a baked good? Thanks!

Anne  (Booklady) Molinarolo (wwwgoodreadscomAnneMolinarolo) | 754 comments Hi Diana,

I was wondering if this cover would do for Amish Friendship Bread as Option 4?

Friendship Bread by Darien Gee

" Julia Evarts and her five-year-old daughter, Gracie, arrive home to find an unexpected gift on the front porch: a homemade loaf of Amish Friendship Bread and a simple note: I hope you enjoy it."


message 64: by Tess (new)

Tess (tessavanessa) | 2157 comments Can I use the verb cut from this recipe? It says butter CUT into pieces in the ingredients list.

My first thought was no because I was thinking along the lines of bakes sales and bakeries but it does fit with the definition and I remembered that when I lived In Italy, some bakeries would have pizzas available so, yes, it's approved.

It has a pastry crust so I will count it.

Perfect, thank you!


message 71: by Brigia (new)

Brigia | 453 comments And another question. In my pizza recipe there is this sentence:

"Working one ball of dough at a time, take one ball of dough and flatten it with your hands on a slightly floured work surface."

Would Working It work for option B?


message 72: by Diana (new)

Diana Keener | 798 comments Yes, it would.


message 73: by Cait S (new)

Cait S | 738 comments Hey! Sorry if this has been asked before, I scrolled but didn't see it.

Does the picture on the cover for Option E need to match our baked good exactly? For example the book I'm reading has cupcakes on the cover and my recipe is Pineapple Cupcakes...but they aren't clearly Pineapple. Does that matter or is generic cupcake okay?

A picture of a cupcake is fine.

Yes that makes complete sense. I actually thought that that would be your rule after ruminating over it for a bit.

Anyway I'm picking Salt: A World History and https://www.chelseasmessyapron.com/do... as my recipe. Living alone I like making small batches when baking to ensure my waistline doesn't hate me for it!


message 76: by Blueberry (new)

Blueberry (blueberry1) | 465 comments Will Chocolat work?


message 77: by Diana (new)

Diana Keener | 798 comments I'm sorry but unless your recipe is in French and it is listed as an ingredient as chocolat and not chocolate, I'm afraid not.


steph (librarianish) (steph_davidson) | 540 comments I just want to be sure this works on all parts:

bread recipe - "Obviously it doesn't have those complex flavors that are born of long, slow rising." Recipe makes 1 loaf (no reference to servings is made)
Book 1:Red Rising - option B: "rising"
Book 2:Symbiont - option D: 516 pages


message 79: by Diana (new)

Diana Keener | 798 comments Sorry, but rising doesn't work. In this case it is being used as a noun.
From my Dictionary app on my phone - one of the definitions of rising is noun - a period of leavening of dough preceding baking.


message 80: by Diana (new)

Diana Keener | 798 comments Thanks to everyone who participated. I've discovered some new recipes I want to try!
