- 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.
