Sugar High: Sweet & Savory Baking in Your High-Altitude Kitchen

At altitudes, preparation of food requires changes in time, temperature or recipe because lower atmospheric pressure due to a thinner blanket of air above decreases pressure. This affects food preparation in two ways: liquids evaporate faster and boil at lower temperatures and leavening expands more quickly. Recipes include a wide variety of savory and sweet favorites: Biscuits and Scones, Muffins, and Quick Breads; Breads, Pizzas, and Rolls; Cakes and Cupcakes; Cookies; Bars; Pies and Tarts.
Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming all have cities and towns located above 5000 ft elevation. Colorado’s population is the second fastest growing state in the nation and newcomers to Colorado are often surprised when favorite recipes fail at higher elevation.
