Fall is a season that's great for many things: taking walks among the red-orange leaves, sipping warm beverages with a book in hand. It's also an especially good time for baking. It's last day of September, but the first day of our weeklong fall food series called "Sound Bites."

Each day, we're tackling a different topic related to fall foods from the art of preservation to fall flavors with a food scientist. And we're starting the week with a show on fall baking.

We're talking about bread, cookies, pies, cakes and more so warm up the oven, grab your measuring cups and get ready to be super hungry.
