This week's Recipe of the Week features a delightful Lemon Bread recipe from cookbook author and chef Gregg Gillespie.  His quick breads are featured in his book 1001 muffins and other quick breads. Gregg has written a number of terrific recipe books - like his 2001 Chicken Recipes and 1001 Muffin, Quick Bread Recipes. Gregg's collections of recipes are not only delicious but very simple to prepare. Lemon Bread can be served as an afternoon snack, as a part of a Sunday brunch or pot luck supper.

What you need:

• 3 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1 cup of chopped walnuts
• 3 tablespoons of freshly grated lemon zest
• 2 cups of granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup of butter or margarine at room temperature
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk or sour milk

What to do:

1. Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Lightly grease and flour a 9 1/4 x 5 1/4 x 2 3/4 inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, blend together the flour, baking soda, walnuts, and zest. In a medium bowl, beat the sugar and butter together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating vigorously after each addition. Beat in the buttermilk. Combine the two mixtures, blending until the dry ingredients are thoroughly moistened.
3. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a cake tester or wooden toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean and the top is golden.  Remove from the oven and cool the pan on a wire rack for 5 to 10 minutes before removing the loaf from the pan.
