baking adventures on both sides of the English Channel

I have loved to bake ever since I was a little girl, helping my mum to mix the cakes and roll out the pastry. Now having much more time, not to mention many more cake tins and stands, I love to bake even more, on both sides of the English Channel.

something to consider

All photos are of my own baking. All recipes or adaptations are credited to the original source, unless I don't know it or the recipe is my own invention.

I am very happy for the recipes to be used or passed on but would be grateful if anyone who wants to copy and publish my words or photos would let me know first.

how to find out if the cake is done

1. it should look done, as brown as you would expect it to be, and only wobbly in the middle if that's how it's meant to be.

2. it may well have shrunk back from the sides of the tin slightly.

3. if you prod it gently, it should feel like a firm bathsponge and the dent you make with your finger should spring back.

4. if you insert a skewer, cake tester or the blade of a knife into the middle of the cake, it should not have uncooked cake mixture sticking to it when you pull it out.


is it worth it?

* means the recipe requires very little faffing.

** means it takes a little more time and trouble but worth it.

*** means quite fiddly but defititely worth it.


**** means very fiddly but possibly worth it.

***** means don't go there.
