High Altitude

High-altitude cooking and baking can be quite challenging, often causing more frustration than enjoyment. Many standard sea-level recipes work well up to around 3,000 feet, but beyond that, issues like flat cookies, collapsed cakes, and sunken muffins become all too common.

Through my extensive testing and learning from trial and error, I've honed a set of adjustments that have become my go-to tools in the kitchen. My kitchen is located just above 5,200 feet, so you can trust that these adjustments are tried and tested. But rest assured all of my recipes have also been tested at regular altitudes, so you can bake with confidence.ย 

Try the recipes others love so much; High Altitude Banana Bread, chewy Chocolate Chip cookies and this beautiful Peach bundt cake recipe.ย
