Bake Off week seven and this times it was festivals. I don’t think that’s a theme they’ve used previously and I wasn’t too sure what to expect. In the end it turned out to be food for festivals in the sense of Christmas or Easter, not what you might expect to find to eat at …

Great British Bake Off Week Six
Bake Off week six and I’m still on a bit of a sugar high. This was dessert week and it inevitably involved a great deal of meringue. My Mum would have loved this week. I always remember that if we went out for a meal she would choose her dessert first and then pick the …
Great British Bake Off Week Five
Bake Off week five and we’re half way through the series. This time it was into unchartered territory with a theme of 1920’s baking. When they do this sort of thing I’m never quite sure if they come up with the theme first and then try matching recipes to it or if it’s the other …
Baking a bundt cake
It’s a wet, grey Tuesday afternoon and somehow all of those productive plans that I had for today have come to nothing. There’s a garage door needs painting, a lawn that needs mowing and a garden that could really do with an end of summer tidy up. But I’m staying where I am at this …

Great British Bake Off Week Three
It’s already bake off week three and this time it’s bread. When I first started to bake the thought of making bread was daunting and not something that I tried for quite some time. Eventually I plucked up the courage to have a go and now it’s probably second only to cake in the things …
Great British Bake Off Week Two
Bake off week two and it’s time for biscuits. Biscuits are never my favourite bake, not to say that I don’t enjoy them, just that they are something that I don’t bake very often. This weeks challenges were chocolate biscuits bars for the signature bake, fig rolls for the technical and a 3D biscuit structure …
Great British Bake Off Week One
It’s reached that time of year again. That time when despite the first signs of summer coming to an end, things don’t actually feel so bad after all. I’m probably being fanciful but The Great British Bake Off has that affect on me. Yes I know it’s all a bit of a cliche but there …
