Talk:King Arthur Baking/Archive 1

More information
There is much more information about the history of the company in their first cookbook, The King Arthur Flour 200th Anniversary Cookbook. I don't have easy access to the book at the moment, which is why the article is so skimpy. 121a0012 16:55, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I've now done this. I also added a citation for the current media guide, which includes the employee count I quoted in the infobox.  I did not use full cite.php references since the whole "History" section is based on one source (the cookbook, as listed in the references section).  121a0012 05:48, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Tweak paragraph for accuracy
Activities In addition to its wholesale flour business, King Arthur also sells baking equipment, ingredients, baking mixes, and cookbooks directly to consumers through its catalog, The Baker's Catalog, website, and at its flagship store located in Norwich, Vermont. It runs a Baker’s Hotline, has published cookbooks, and offers classes.

Catalogue is now catalog, Remove "The Baker's Store" (not called that), Change "baking advice service" to "Baker's Hotline" Cookieabsentmindedly (talk) 16:32, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Baker's Hotline section
Since 1993 the company has offered baking advice through their Baker's Hotline, which operates both as a call center and via online chat and email. Many baker specialists on the Baker’s Hotline are professional bakers and chefs, often with culinary degrees. They're adept at fielding inquiries on topics like flour types, recipe substitutions, and sourdough starter care amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Their callers vary from novices to parents baking with children to seasoned bakers. The King Arthur Flour hotline has a staff of 13 baker specialists who answer phone calls and emails eight to 12 hours a day, 357 days a year.
