Beard on Bread. a classic cookbook - one i’ve had in my collection since 1986 ( it cost 12.95 ! ).

i like many recipes in this book - but one i have been making for these 25 years - (yikes !) - is his banana bread. it is perfectly dense ( not too ) - moist - big on banana flavor & not too sweet. ( i add chunks of chocolate ).
i wanted to say thanks to a friend & this seemed just right for the occasion. (of course i made one for myself).

i make them in my vintage cake pans.
