Went to the KAF site and read the reviews ont eh mini Zo. "As the KAF instruction sheet indicates, this machine is a computer". That is, the cycles are pre-programmed. That's OK for people who just want to plug and play, but for those of us who want control over the baking, we just don't get it. It would have been great to have the option of pressing a "Knead" button or a "Bake" button to be able to control those functions, ideally coupled with the ability to set the timer for each." Does this mean that I wouldnt be able to let it just knead my dough and then I can bake it in the regular oven?

There is a distinct difference between genetically engineered crops and natural hybrids and it would be well worth the efforts of those who are insulting those who are warning people that all frankenfoods are highly dangerous. There are German studies and even Monsanto's own studies which point a great problem with genetic modified foods. To not get too technical, but it has to do with the base amino acid structure the body does not recognize. I would suggest people notice how many people have the 'new diseases' of auto immune from lupus, MG, inflamed bowel, arthritis etc.... as examples that the body is having great difficulty with these grains and oils. Ask your vet or pet food dealer how many 'allergic' pets are showing up now to food. It is because of the hybrid corn some animals can not deal with it. Just because you eat something and you don't end up in the emergency ward does not mean that it is not going to affect your body sooner than later. Studies now indicate diabetes is from an inflamed pancreas. Once again not inflamation is the key disease and it links back to all of these genetically modified crops. For goodness sake people, I deal in agriculture and genetics. There are crops like Roundup corn, soybeans and canola oil where Monsanto has engineered a crop where you can spray Roundup, the same thing you put on your lawns and a herbicide which kills every plant, but it will not affect these crops. You are eating in mass now crops that a poison will not kill. Some of these genetic crops have trace genes of even animal DNA so as to make them more resiliant. That is not natural and if you ever ask the growing number of sick people they will tell you this is not funny as they are dying slow miserable deaths. My research hints that there is a symbiotic relationship between the amino acid hybrids, bacteria and a fungal infection. That is why so many skin diseases are manifesting including boils. If like in MG that a person's lining off their nerve cells is being eaten off so the nervous system shorts out to the fact if complete corn diets are feed cattle that it will burn them out and kill them, should perhaps convince the experts on here claiming all of this is nonsense. This is not about transfats. This is about a genetic engineered mutation that is being fed into the meat chain, the pets you have and you. Do a forensic test on your hair and it will not come back diverse. It will come back that you are corn due the huge amounts of it in all foods and if it is not corn, it is canola oil adding to the problem. I have watched a black lab and an irish setter dog develop arthritis, stumbling, seizures and bloody stools. When the diet was switched to a rice base or no corn, they both recovered and healed. People and their pets need to eat correctly and stop buying this stuff as once that happens, the corporations will loose money and won't push it onto consumers any more. Farmers are only using now what the market demands. Start demanding natural grains, natural beef, chicken, turkey and pork and vegetables not being fertilized in Mexico using human feces (that is where the spinach and jalepino/tomatoe problems came from is human sewage waste and not swine as people were lied to.) and please stop eating those tons of preservatives they have in everything. You don't have to be vegan as that is just as dangerous in the genetic plants they are pushing (get a clue if an insect won't eat it in the field perhaps you shouldn't eat it either.). As far as hunza, it is molasses bread and molasses is still good for you. It covers up the strong taste of buckwheat and if you ever ate millet flower you would cringe it is so bad. (Millet is very good boiled like oatmeal. It just is not a good flour as it is strong.) The link provided is a natural help site for people who are having problems and the modern 'cures' are only making them more ill. There are no side effects to good food except health. You can quote me on that. God bless. Here is a link that might be useful: Earth Clinic

For the most part I default to Ann T's French Bread recipe...easy peasy and good. Just four ingredients, flour, water, yeast and salt. I have found the great bread recipes on the King Arthur site. Their hamburger roll recipe is delish!!! I haven't easy access to their products but have found the flour I can get works just fine.

I make no claim to be an amazing cook Lyban, but thanks for the kind assumption! After our housekeeper /cook retired and then I retired a few years later I ”upped my game,” as my kids described it. The first time I made Marcella Hazan’s long version bolognese my visiting daughter asked indignantly why I had not cooked like that for them growing up. 🙂 I’ve experimented more, upgraded most of my kitchen tools, learned more about the chemistry of cooking, read more cookbooks and got involved online with a great group of gifted cooks who inspire. We also rarely eat out so i do practice a lot. No Whole Foods or anything remotely like it around here—-we are smack dab in the heart of Barbecueland.
