Cooking The Books- A Brand New Challenge For August 2014.
A new month and that means a brand new book in my SmartCookieSam Cooking The Books Challenge. I’ve chosen the fabulous Scandelicious Baking by Signe Johansen for this month’s featured book. I’ve just recently discovered Scandi baking and how delicious it is through going along to the brilliant Balderzens in Harrogate. The owner, Paul’s grandmother…

Cooking The Books- July Challenge Update.
In July my Cooking The Books Challenge was to bake one or two recipes from each chapter of Celebrations At The Primrose Bakery. At the beginning of the month this didn’t seem too daunting but as it got closer to the end of term things went crazy. I did a lot of baking but not…

My Cooking The Books Challenge for July 2014.
Another month= another book in my monthly Cooking The Books Challenge. Now it’s July I needed to think of another book that would have recipes I would enjoy baking yet my family would eat them! This month it’s going to be Lisa Thomas and Martha Swift’s third book from the Primrose Bakery, this time their…

John Whaite Bakes At Home- Update on my June Cooking The Books Challenge.
Unfortunately things have gone a bit pear shaped in my monthly Cooking The Books Challenge. It got to the end of the month yesterday and I realised I’d not baked two of the recipes I wanted to for the challenge. I missed out on baking some Utterly Nutterly Shortbreads and some Wedding Party Rings! Oh…

Cooking The Books- Brand New Challenge for June 2014.
A new month. Gosh we’re nearly halfway through the year, that is so scary! It doesn’t seem 5 minutes ago since I was wishing everyone a Happy New Year. Anyway I’m glad of the longer days, the light nights and the better weather (well mostly, we do live in the UK remember!) So on my…

Sticky Toffee Loaf Cake With Fudge Icing- from Delia’s Cakes
Gosh, is it really nearly three weeks since my last post? Well over half term I was away on holiday up on the Isle of Mull, a beautiful part of the world and since I’ve been back I haven’t managed to get anywhere near my laptop. So better late than never I suppose! Last month I…

Cooking The Books Challenge (April 2014)- Mary Berry’s Baking Bible Update.
I go in fits and starts with my blog posts. Sometimes I have loads of time to write things up and take photos, other times I don’t have time to even think about it. Over the past week it’s been the same and I realised I had seven recipes to blog about linked in with…

Banana and Chocolate Chip Bars from Mary Berry’s Baking Bible.
I’m now well under way with baking from this month’s Cooking The Books Challenge. This morning was time to get started on the second recipe, which sounded good in theory being the school holidays. But in practice probably not a good idea to bake when you’re in a hurry, you need to be somewhere else…

Cooking The Books- A Brand New Challenge for April!
A new month means another book to bake from in my Cooking The Books challenge! I’ve changed my choice about three times in the last three weeks but once again it has to reflect what I can actually bake at home that my family will eat and not turn their noses up at! What with…

Cooking The Books- March 2014.
A new month means a brand new book to bake from in my Cooking The Books Challenge. I originally wanted to bake from Dan Leppard’s Short And Sweet but I have this on my Kindle. My Kindle sometimes goes out of charge at the wrong time and I’m not organised at getting it recharged when…
