Once again, Beth Hensperger brings us a collection of delightfully simple quick breads. Here, among the muffins and biscuits, beaten and stirred, dropped and cut, pancakes and waffles, old-fashioned and a la mode, cornbreads, berry shortcakes, and buttery shortbreads, spicy gingerbreads and even popovers, are scores of recipes, both sweet and savory, easy enough to make on a weekday and delicious enough to serve at any meal, from a casual family breakfast to a have-friends-in Sunday supper. The Best Quick Breads is the kind of book that earns a permanent place on the kitchen bookshelf and becomes dog-eared with use in almost as little time as it takes to flip a stack of Beth's Buckwheat Pancakes on the griddle., SOnce again, Beth Hensperger brings us a collection of delightfully simple quick breads.

Synopsis
This handsome gift volume reveals the stories behind the Huntington's best-known paintings, The Blue Boy by Thomas Gainsborough and Pinkie by Sir Thomas Lawrence. Purchased by Henry E. Huntington in the 1920s, the two masterpieces have resided together in the railroad magnate's mansion-turned-art gallery in San Marino, California, for more than seventy years. Who were the children in these paintings and why did these leading artists choose them as subjects? These and many other intriguing questions are answered by renowned art historian Robert R. Wark. Sixteen color plates feature Pinkie and the Blue Boy as well as other related paintings., Take the 100 best recipes from the author's classic (but out-of-print) The Art of Quick Breads, stir in 50 scrumptiously brand-new creations, and you have enough terrific quick breads to last a lifetime.
