Baking master class....I'm off to a baking master class at MOSI for an evening with renowned 'artisan' baker and judge of the 'Great British Bake Off', Paul Hollywood on 7 December. Being fairly new to the baking scene myself still, I figure if anyone can enlighten me and give me some top tips - he can! Hollywood (the man!) has also written a book called '100 Great Breads', which I'll probably have a read off before I go - just so I can swot up on what he's done in case I get the opportunity to speak to him. If they let me near enough. I'm really looking forward to it, never been to anything like this before. That's Paul Hollywood to the right, looking like a very happy baker!
New ideas and flavours for Christmas....
I've a been as habitual about baking in the last few weeks as I normally would however I do have a few new recipe ideas this week but I've not put anything into practise as of yet. I'm looking for 'christmasy' flavours and tastes, so I'm going to do a bit of research this weekend. I'm thinking cinnamon, all spice, cranberry and orange flavours however I need to get out to a food market and investigate a few more recipe books before diving back into the kitchen. I seem to have referred to Nigella's calorific, delectable recipes a bit too often recently! I find her recipes addictive....
And from one 'N' to another......
I watched Nigel Slater's 'Simple Suppers' the other night. I am not totally engrossed in this programme quite yet but I am persevering. He's very creative and efficient with food I've noticed so far. See the latest episode here: If anything, he's not one to waste food and in this day and age, that's a very good thing.
So, in the next few weeks I'll be finding out what Paul's up to, keeping my eye on Nigel's culinary tricks and have one eye onNigella, as always!
