Fantastic creation, Chef! I haven't made too many quick breads before, but I know I'll be making this one again many times. The orange bread dotted with red cranberries makes for a beautiful presentation. The texture is perfect and the flavors are a perfect combination of sweet and tart. The hardest part was keeping myself from eating a warm slice. It's definitely worth waiting for! Made and reveiwed for Spring PAC '08.

I am trying to eat healthier, which means eating out less and cooking more. I had almost forgotten how much I love to cook!! I am also trying to include more fruits and vegetables in my diet.
I live on the north side of Chicago and work as a pianist/piano teacher. For fun, I enjoy biking and going to festivals and farmers' markets.
