Rob andHoward fell down the packa little and Ruby really. Allchange. Bread week. breadsticks, perfect muffins, anda showstopper that looked and sounded
These prizes are offered by Ebury Publishing and I am hosting the giveaway on behalf of them. Foolproof Cooking is a new cookbook from Mary Berry thataccompanies her brand new television series
The GreatBritishBake Off (GBBO) is back on our televisions again. Admittedly though I was looking at some of the showstopper cakesand wondering whatBritishclassic they were supposed to be
I had to choose the show stopper as I love classicBritishcakeand I madecarrotcake. Mary Berry hadtears in her eyes when she talkedaboutNadiyaand I must admit I wasa little emotional too
'The GreatBritishBakeoff - how to turn everydaybakes into show stoppers', EBury the publishers for BBC books have very kindly sent me two copies one for me and one for my MacmillanCancer coffee morning recipe book sale
It is set to be the best series yet with competitors from allwalks of life including a builder, agraphic designer, a furniture restorer, anAS-level student anda construction engineer
As I havesaid before, I do hope to be able to go back to the ones I missed/failedmiserablyat *cough*custardtart*cough*, however, it's dependent on time and the fact I am likely to be distracted with seasonalbaking (I have so many pumpkin bakes in mind, it is a bit ridiculous)
It came up much sooner than the past couple of years but I wasratherthankful it fell on this week as biscuits take less time than most things and I hada second bakeplanned since it is the Hubby's birthday this weekend (post to come later this week)
There's nothing quite like a good old GreatBritish dish, andcottage pie is perfect for this icy cold weather we've been having - cottage pie is also the ultimate comfort food
The whole teamhave returned – Queen of bakingMary Berry, Paul Hollywood AKA the Silver Fox and the comedy duo Mel and Sue, who I personally think addagreat bit of comedy to the proceedings
Once upon a time, British food and produce hada poor reputation. Lucky old me got to take French journalists to the UK (I lived in Parisat the time) to wine and dine them
Brendan won first place in the technicalchallenge with his "perfect" puddings and the judges applauded him on his "great wobble" which left Brendan blushing with pride
Jamesand John decided to makea sponge starter for agreater depth of flavour, probably in John's case, not to suffer arepeat of Hollywood's cutting comments about the blandness of his sponge puddings
I was honest andsaidthat I hadmade it (at school in Home Economics) but I don't becausebasically life is too short when you can buy perfectly good stuff in the supermarket
