Week two of the Great British Bake Off was biscuit week, so I’m going to be honest and say I was a bit confused about the technical challenge. Are fig rolls really biscuits? TO GOOGLE! The answer is yes, fig rolls really are biscuits. And on my journey I found this lovely website called nicecupofteaandasitdown.com,Continue Reading “Bake Along With Bake Off 2019 – Fig Rolls”
I can’t believe it’s that time of the year again – the season of devoting Tuesday evenings to the annual delight that is the Great British Bake Off. This year I am SO out of the loop that I completely missed the first episode when it aired on Channel 4. Full of shame, I tookContinue Reading “Bake Along With Bake Off 2019 – Angel Cake Slices”
Every year my friends and I make our annual voyage to the Reading Beer and Cider Festival. It’s one of the highlights of the year, and as we get older and less fun, the one time of year for many of us to all come together and drink our weight in cider.

I swear every week these get harder – not just harder but more deceptive. Blancmange didn’t seem like it would be too much of a problem. I’ve made jelly before and in my head blancmange just seemed like jelly with cream in it. Part of my problem is that every week I go off-piste aContinue Reading “Bake Along With Bake Off Week 4 – Blancmange”
This right here is the bake that very nearly didn’t happen. This cake is lucky be alive. Who knew that pistachios were so expensive? Or that Bake Off is for the middle class?! Seriously though I bought ten pounds worth of pistachios for this recipe, which is a lot to spend on nuts. And thatContinue Reading “Bake Along With Bake Off Week 2 – Le Gâteau Vert”
Okay so in the interest of transparency I have fallen out of order ALREADY. I’ve made week three before making week two. But there is a very good reason! Week two is the green pistachio cake, and do you even KNOW how many bloomin unshelled pistachios that thing needs? 450 GRAMS. Pistachios are EXPENSIVE. SoContinue Reading “Bake Along With Bake Off Week 3 – Garlic Naan Bread”
Bake off is back and I’m so happy! I don’t watch a lot of actually on the telly telly, but this is one I just won’t miss. Baking has long been a passion of mine.

I’m going to be honest here – I spend most of my time thinking about food. The morning is spent thinking about how soon it’s okay to eat lunch, and the afternoon is spent plotting what I’ll be having for dinner. So what I eat for dinner can really make or break my day. IContinue Reading “super simple salmon risotto recipe”
