No I'm not talking about preheating the oven. Every reality show has a before and after, so these are some of the practice rounds before classes start........ Ok, maybe I'm not showing you all the practice shots, like last week's eclairs that ended up not so successfully down the chute, but that's why I'm the blog editor with the power to pick and choose.
Last week's brown sugar and white chocolate swiss roll, swirled with what was left of the chunky cherry, peach and vanilla jam I made back in January.
Orange blossom madeleines in my new madeleine pan. I don't know if I'm more addicted to buying cookware or cookbooks! Amazon.com - my home away from home!
G&B dark chocolate and cinnamon swirls. All organic....had to be healthy, right?
An S for saffron. Saffron fruit loaf thanks to one of my favourite bread books by Dan Lepard.
And lastly, an apple and olive oil cake adapted from Ottolenghi. How yummy was the brown sugar, cinnamon and cream cheese filling!
