Literature | Baker (The) Louis XVI was called "the Baker," the queen was called "the baker's wife" (or La Boulangère), and the dauphin the "shop boy;" because a heavy trade in corn was carried on at Versailles, and consequently very little was brought to Paris. "The return of the baker, his wife, and the shop-boy to Paris [after the king was brought from Versailles] had not had the expected effect. Flour and bread were still scarce." - A. Dumas: The Countess de Charny , chap. ix. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |

Baker County is a county located in the U.S. State of Oregon. It is named for Edward Dickinson Baker, a senator from Oregon who was killed at Balls Bluff, a battle of the American Civil War. As of 2000, the population is 16,741.Economy
Gold mining was the original impetus for settlement in the area, and at one time the county was the largest gold producer in the Northwest. With the exhaustion of the gold fields, agriculture, stock raising, logging became the primary economic pursuits. In recent years, tourism has also contributed to the local economy, helped by attractions that include the Eagle Cap Wilderness Area, the Hells Canyon Recreation Area, and Anthony Lakes Ski Resort. The Oregon Trail Interpretative Center has drawn numerous visitors since its opening in 1993.History
Before 1861, the majority of immigrants only paused in the area on their way to the Willamette Valley, unaware of the potential wealth they passed over. In that year gold was discovered and Baker County became one of the Northwest's largest gold producers.On September 22 of the following year, the state legislature created Baker County from the eastern part of Wasco County. Later, Union County and Malheur County were created from this county. The boundaries were adjusted for the last time in 1901 when the area between the Powder River and the Wallowa Mountains was returned to Baker County.
The original county seat was at Auburn. While at first a booming mining town with 5,000 inhabitants, once the gold was mined out Auburn's population dwindled, and county citizens eventually voted in 1868 to make Baker City, incorporated in 1874, the new county seat.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Baking is cooking food in an oven with dry heat applied evenly throughout the oven. The person that does the baking is called a baker.Breads, desserts, and meat are often baked.
The dry heat of baking causes the outside of the food to brown or char, giving it an attractive appearance and taste, as well as sealing in the food's moisture. The browning is caused by caramelization of sugars and is the result of the Maillard browning reaction. Moisture is never really entirely "sealed in", however; over time, an item being baked will become drier and drier. This is often an advantage, especially in situations where drying is the desired outcome, for example in drying herbs or in roasting certain types of vegetables.
To compensate for moisture loss, some items are basted on the surface with butter or oil to slow the loss of moisture through the skin. Some foods are replenished with moisture during baking by placing a small amount of liquid (such as water or broth) in the bottom of the pan, and letting it steam up into or around the food.
Baking is the primary cooking technique used to produce cakes and sweet desserts.
