Hobbies

Beyond physics, I love baking! Here is a selection of some of the baked goods I’ve made recently! I also keep an Instagram account with more detail about my creations (although it is not frequently updated these days.)

I love collecting baking-focused cookbooks, especially those that have a focus on a wide variety of recipes or interesting techniques. My go-tos are

  1. The King Arthur Flour Baker’s Companion
  2. Cook’s Illustrated Baking Book
  3. Flour Water Salt Year by Ken Forkish
  4. The Cookie that Changed My Life by Nancy Silverton
  5. Breads from the La Brea Bakery by Nancy Silverton
  6. The Bread Bible by Rose Levy Beranbaum
