Please join me in welcoming Leigh Tate, author of How to Bake without Baking Powder




Read the book review here!



Leigh will be hanging out in the forums until this Friday answering questions and sharing her experiences with you all.

At the end of the week, we'll make a drawing for 4 lucky winners to win a copy of her book! From now until Friday, all new posts in the cooking forum are eligible to win.

To win, you must use a name that follows our naming policy and you must have your email set up to receive the Daily-ish email. Higher quality posts are weighed more highly than posts that just say, "I want this book!"

When the four winners are selected, they will be announced in this thread and their email address will be sent to the publisher, and the publisher will sort out the delivery details with the winners.


Please remember that we favour perennial discussion.  The threads you start will last beyond the event.  You don't need to use Leigh's name to get her attention. We like these threads to be accessible to everyone, and some people may not post their experiences if the thread is directed to the author alone.

Posts in this thread won't count as an entry to win the book, but please say "Hi!" to Leigh and make her feel welcome!

Ooh! Leigh, thanks so much for doing this! I just had a look at the book review and a bit of your 'blog page (you busy person!) and am really keen on getting a copy of the book now.
I cook on a wood stove, so could have a go at making my own baking powder, but it looks like you've got lots of other ideas for us too. If I don't win, I'll make myself a present of the book anyhow!

Welcome Leigh! I've been wondering what was used before baking powder and am intrigued by your book.

Hi Leigh!

“I want this book!”

That said, I am not a very successful baker but I try! AND is there a way for me to get a copy or two of your book on growing ginger?!?! Amazon only sells kindle, which I don’t use.

I remember my Grandmother’s stories of the hard times during the War Between the States.  They burned corncobs and used the ash as leavening when they could not get baking soda.  

So glad you are writing books to educate the rest of us, Leigh, congratulations.  

With appropriate microbes, minerals and organic matter, there is no need for pesticides or herbicides.

This is of particular interest to me because I love baking but store bought baking powder is very high in phosphorus.  I need to avoid cooking with any “phos” ingredients as much as possible.

Both of my parents need to have a low phosphorus diet due to kidney disease. The phosphate in baking powder is particularly well absorbed into the blood so the kidneys have to filter it out. Any recipe book without baking powder would be helpful. Giving ideas on how to bake like this would be great for a lot of people I imagine.

Welcome, Leigh!!!
This topic is right up my alley!  I am extremely interested in adapting recipes to what I have on hand.  Can't wait to buy the book.  

I choose...to be the best me I can be, to be the strongest me I can be, to learn the most I can. I don't know what comes next. But I'm gonna go into it balls to the walls, flames in my hair, and full speed ahead.

Lyssa, it is indeed fun! A very fascinating subject. If you enjoy experimenting, you'll enjoy seeing what kitchen chemistry can do. And welcome to Permies!

Faye, oh yes, thank you for mentioning that. Using corn cobs was one of the tidbits I discovered when I did my historical research on this topic. I chose to use hardwood ash for my experiments, but I will definitely try corn cob ash one of these days.

Jill, thank you! Welcome to Permies!

Tivona, you bring up an excellent point about phosphorous. I made a list of baking soda plus alternatives in another thread (Basic Kitchen Chemistry). I think you could look up several of these and choose the lowest phosphorous items on the list. They all work really well.

Susan, thank you! If you like experimenting, you will enjoy this. it's so much fun to make beautiful baked goods with odd ingredients (like pickle juice, coffee, or ricotta cheese!)

Welcome Leah! I read your post about not having Cream of Tartar. It intrigued me because where I live it's only available in special stores. Seeing all the alternatives you offered blew my mind. I will be suggesting this book to others!

This discussion is super interesting to me. I am of the opinion that baking is one of those things that just happens. I do not understand the science behind it. I know that I can not do it. Finding out there is a way to short cut a key ingredient absolutely baffles me. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.

Hi Leigh:
I got to this thread through the daily email. I clicked on the links in the first post to read about the focus of your book. Blew me away. I skipped the hopes (and the waiting) for a chance at a possible freebie and hit the buy it now button. Thank you for making such an interesting exploration into the science of cooking so affordable. As with any other topic, knowing how things work (and the whys and why nots) make the doing of like so much more fun interesting.  And the best part, helps one to be more independent. I’m looking forward to spending some quality time with your book.

Thank you, Everyone!

Jesse, looking forward to that recipe.

Maggie, I have trouble finding cream of tartar anymore as well, so learning alternatives has been wonderfully freeing.

Tom, I confess I rarely follow recipe, at least not strictly. I think there is both an art and science to baking. Once we understand the principles, we can be extremely creative!

L, you just made my day!

Linda, understanding these baking techniques are a real aid to self-reliance. Also have to mention that I love my bread machine, although I don't use it often for baked goods.

A very interesting sounding book.  I'm gradually learning and figuring out how to bake without grain.  I've been making my own baking powder from a recipe found on the web.  Yes, I was curious as to why you needed a starch in the powder.  And most commercial baking powders have thing that I don't do well with.  I also have used many recipes with sour milk with baking soda.  It will be interesting to learn more of your suggestions and tips on baking.  Congratulations on your book.

Marjorie, welcome to Permies! And thank you for your kind words.

I haven't bought baking powder in years, but I'm guessing that now, they put in all kinds of additives that many of us don't do well with.

Please look around the cooking forum and ask questions! I think you'll find others with similar baking goals to yours.

Tj, welcome to Permies! It is a huge site, but I think it is absolutely the best permaculture and homesteading forum on the internet. It's also very friendly!

Giselle, I'm glad you're joining in the fun! I look forward to your posts in the cooking forum this week.

Leigh what have you started me on??? I went down a rabbit hole on cooking with Ash…. And found so far that …“ A recent study noted that Navajos use ground Juniper ash in their bread flour. It increases the nutritional value of the bread, and adds calcium.” https://www.onondaganation.org/blog/2011/cooking-with-ashes/


And Do not cook in Aluminum pots or use aluminum spoons when working with wood ash.  According to American Macrobiotic Cuisine by Meredith McCarthy, “The Lye in the wood ash reacts strongly with aluminum to produce hydrogen gas, which is both flammable and explosive.” The Ashes can ruin your aluminum pots and spoons due to the alkalinity . Stainless steel, ceramic, and wooden spoons are a great alternative.

This is fun! Giselle

Hi Marco!

Giselle, I'm thrilled that you are so excited with this! Isn't it interesting? It's wonderfully fun to experiment too.

Good point about aluminum! It doesn't play nice with acids either. Aluminum is something I would recommend everyone replace in their cookware.
