KS 18 Susan Purdy - author of Pie in the Sky
Crestfallen cakes? Slumped soufflés? Do you have an altitude problem?
When Susan G. Purdy began traveling across the country to teach baking, she soon discovered that the recipes she perfected at home in Connecticut (altitude 540 feet) wouldn’t fly in high-altitude venues.
The more she asked for advice, the more she realized how little information existed for adapting recipes to suit kitchens in higher elevations. So she packed a suitcase with her favorite recipes, enlisted the help of a few engineers, and began testing variations in home kitchens across the country, from North Carolina to Colorado. We’ll talk with Susan about the chemistry of baking, what goes wrong, and how to adjust for altitude.
