description: A year in the life of Instagram bread-baking sensation Tara Jensen as she teaches readers how to bake bread and pies build the perfect fire to cook with and live a simple satisfying life.Why do so many people make pilgrimages to Tara Jensens North Carolina Smoke Signals Bakery? Why do over a 100000 people follow her Instagram feed @bakerhands? Its because Tara bakes the most exquisite bread in the US using a wood-fired oven that she tends with her own two hands. It could also be to learn how she makes her bubbly deep-dish fruit pies or to see the crisp pizzas that are sometimes covered with fresh flowers. It could be something deeper: Tara Jensen has learned to live a simple life close to the land that feeds her oven. In her first book she shares her philosophy of simple living and her trove of recipes with others. A Bakers Year takes readers month-by-month through the seasons at Smoke Signals for porridge and waffles in winter crusty bread in spring pies and pizza in the summer and celebration cakes for end-of-the-year holidays. Along the way Tara writes about how to live in a more peaceful world shares stories from her own life mourns romances lost and celebrates the promise of a new relationship. Illustrated throughout with Tara's photographs and drawings A Bakers Year is a true American original destined to be a classic of cookbook shelves.
