This loaf is something I learned to bake a couple of years ago. I’m shamelessly jumping on the National Bread Week bandwagon by publishing it now. This is an enriched loaf in that it uses milk and butter to add fat to the dough. This gives a light but slightly cake-like texture to the bread. It […]
I know what you’re thinking, a second soup recipe in as many months. I don’t care. It’s been so cold the last few weeks that soup is a necessity. Also, there seems to be recipes for French Onion Soup popping up all over the place recently so I though it was high time I posted […]
Starting my 2018 blog posts as I mean to go on, with bacon, eggs and cream cheese. Seriously, January is tough enough already – you’re probably broke after Christmas and it’s freezing cold – without adding starving yourself to the mix. No, I’m a firm believer in the odd food treat at all times.
