Hi friends! I’m Susannah from the blog Feast + West, and I’m a new contributor at My Cooking Spot. On my blog, I share recipes, cocktails, travel guides and the best of design. I love food that tells a story or sends you on a walk down memory lane, and I look forward to sharing it with you.
Though I get along well with most foods, bananas bring out my fickleness. I buy a bunch every so often, and I’ll enjoy eating them for a day or two. And then I’ll lose interest — it’s a texture thing — and let them sit on the counter for a few more days to earn their spots. Once they’re almost all the way brown, I get interested again.
That’s because I know that those soon-to-be-rotten yellow fruits are ripe and ready to star in an old favorite — banana bread. I love banana bread for its versatility: You can eat it for breakfast, dessert or even a snack.
