a while back a co-worker of e's had brought a yummy banana cake to work that e raved about. so much so, she brought him the recipe and this interesting wooden loaf pan/form from technobake. she said she picked them up while on a trip in france. i was a little hesitant to bake wood in my oven, but it worked out really well and it was such a unique way to present a simple loaf like this. i was thrilled to find you can order it online here.
