I made this for the 2012 Pick A Chef in the Contests forum. This was a good bread, I likhe texture of the bread it was delicious ss well. I have also been informed that I am to make this recipe again for my daughter!! -
Very good Banana Bread, was not dense or heavy and had great flavor. The bread turned out moist and had the riht amount of sweetness. Definitely a keeper. -
What a great recipe! The texture is almost cake-like, as if pastry flour had been used instead of all-purpose; and it couldn't be more moist. A classic; so easy to make. I won't be looking at other banana bread recipes. This one goes into my file.

I grew up in an Iranian household, where cooking was a three generation affair. After spending countless hours with my grandmother and mother in the kitchen I found I picked up on some of their skills.
Add this to the fact that I've lived all over the world, I've learned to create my own style drawn from my family and the many global culinary experts I have met along the way.
