Resources

On this page you will find ways to get “in the know” about dough! I know what you’re thinking, “boring!” but really, it’s pretty fun and interesting once you realize that it’s not (I promise), that hard and it can be a very exciting journey. Choose from Books, Radio/TV, or Websites. The vast majority of what I read comes from the library, and here’s how I do it. Go online, (you need a library card), search for the title or author you want, and if they have it (and you’d be surprised at what they do have), then place it on hold, and have it shipped to your branch. When it’s ready, go pick it up. It has save me thousands of dollars over the years. I’ve also put in links for a couple of book stores.
Send in suggestions of favorite authors and websites via Contact Martha. Tell me what has helped you, and I will post it here.
