Well, truth be told, it’s oven time all year round in the Caribbean, although I know that many of us took a break from this cooking appliance during the heatwave we experienced for weeks this year.

For newbie bakers and some well-seasoned home cooks, ovens cause stress, they are fraught with risks, too many memories of failed attempts. Let’s arm ourselves with some information that helps us to understand the appliance we are working with and consider how we need to pay attention to the other part of this cooking deal – recipes. Cooking by oven can be liberating, exciting and rewarding.
