Kneading Conference West 2012 Part I
Kneading Conference West (Sept 13, 14 and 15) 2012 was a terrific success. I had the privilege of attending for the second year in a row and I am really glad I did.

There are fields of lava all around the area, and of course the town is gone, we even have lava tube holes in our orchard. So I thought I would name these coconut rolls after the area. This recipe will make Continue reading
