Thanks so
much for your perspective — as for the baking recipes, I think it all depends on who your audience is — not everyone will shy away from a long list of ingredients, though some will... and yes — which
flours / dry ingredients you use, depending on the recipe, can certainly make a huge difference in the
result!
The
