This week: Skillet bread, recipes, cookbook giveaways, previews and more

The team has been very busy at Eat Your Books: indexing titles, getting through the March – May rush of new cookbooks and providing you with daily culinary news. The place in my heart for librarian love grew three sizes in the last few weeks. There is a lot of double and triple checking numbers and dates until eventually you have to step away for a break before everything starts looking the same.

The other evening during one of those breaks I came across the video above and was intrigued by the making of bread on the stovetop. Perhaps others are aware of this possibility but I was not (I do not get out much). I did a search here in our Library and found 515 recipes (83 online recipes) for skillet bread.

On my list of things to do this weekend is to make this bread. I think it is the perfect thing for those warm summer months when one is craving piping hot bread but don’t wish to turn the oven on — the cheese here is a bonus!
