friend of Yorkshire Pudd Bezza (aka MaryBerry) is back on our screens with her side kick Paul Hollywood and a whole load of new contestants willing to battle it out to become master baker
I top the soft fish fillets with some cheesy soufflé croutons which I once saw MaryBerry make. The herb crust of the title is a blend of tarragon, parsley, butter, breadcrumbs and lemon zest, rolled flat between cling film or baking parchment, then cut to size for cooking on top of a piece of fish
Jen made MaryBerry’s lemon yoghurt cake last year and enjoyed the taste and texture that the yoghurt gave to the cake, so that was the inspiration for this recipe, and I think her cakes look SO pretty as well as sounding wonderful with all those great ingredients
This week's technical challenge was another MaryBerry recipe - Florentines. Mary wanted them to either have a nice crumble or nice snap depending on the type of biscuit
Paul and Mary were looking for a dry biscuit with a good snap, but not so dry it breaks your teeth. My favourite's were Tamal's Cinnamon, Maple & Cranberry Biscotti
Annoyingly these photos were taken of my second batch and I reckon they’ve improved greatly since – my latest batch had a lovely shiny texture and were pretty much perfectly evenly sized (take that MaryBerry
I have a nifty tip for fitting pastry into quiche tins, which I learned from MaryBerry. Add the butter and rub it into the flour until it resembles bread crumbs
Add to it those rosemary red chilli breadcrumbs and no, just no. Mary would not have been impressed. Even my fresh berry compote couldn't save those pancakes
