When winter comes around, many of us head for the mountains to enjoy some winter sports, like skiing, snowboarding and building snowmen. All of those things seem to burn so many calories that there is virtually no guilt in indulging in a big mug of hot chocolate and a hot, freshly baked goodie in front of the fire afterwards. The hot chocolate is no problem, but whether you live at a high elevation or just visit, you know that cooking up there is different that cooking at sea level. It means longer cooking and boiling times for most foods, and can completely change the chemistry of cakes, cookies and other baked items. Instead of tinkering with cookbooks designed to work at sea level (most are), a book like Pie in the Sky: Successful Baking at High Altitudes can really be a lifesaver if you're going to do some high elevation baking.

1My lovely girlfriend received a copy of this for her birthday a few years ago and uses it almost on a weekly basis. We live at around 5000 feet and a lot of recipes she uses from other cookbooks fall flat. Literally. This book is a must have for anyone who hopes to bake at altitude as it has not only a ton of great recipes but also quite a bit of educational value for future baking endeavors.
