Cornish Pasties- A Great British Bake Off Recipe.
I’m still working my way through my #100bakesposterchallenge and am really enjoying it. There are bakes I’ve made before a few times over and some I haven’t tried at all. Usually the ones I haven’t tried are down to whether they look complicated or are much easier to buy ready made. I must admit I…

Cheddar, Apple and Walnut Loaf- The Great British Bake Off Everyday
A lot of my bakes have been sweet ones recently but I was keen to try out a recipe that was listed in the Cakes section of the latest Great British Bake Off Book- The Great British Bake Off Everyday. It doesn’t contain sugar but it is a savoury loaf where the sweetness comes from…
