Week #18 of my NEW52 life ...

Bear with me friends (and loyal readers) for I'm breaking myself back into the NEW52 habit gently. It's been a number of weeks since my last "new" post, in fact I think I've missed 4 weeks in total ... yikes!!! So for my return to the fold, I'm starting out with a new book ...



I love to bake! And not just sweet cakes and biscuits (though that does tend to be what I bake most), savoury pastries and pies are just as welcome in my oven!

This particular book appealed to me for a couple of reasons; firstly, I'd seen some of the corresponding episodes on BBC2 and therefore seen some of the recipes being made. Now I don't know about you, but I think seeing the dish being made really helps to understand how the ingredients come together, know what I mean? Secondly, the book has a great mixture of sweet and savoury recipes to try out. In particular I'm looking forward to baking the Whisky & Chilli Tiger Prawns, the Cookies & Cream Fudge Brownies and the Pumpkin & Rosemary Muffins ... all of which sound truly scrumptious!

Well, I guess we all know the subject of at least three of my future NEW52 posts ... my attempts at making [hopefully] tasty morsels from this book.

I've seen this in Waterstones and keep thinking should I? Sounds yummy but I'm a biscuit kinda girl.

As soon as I saw the series, I went straight to amazon and order the book! I've made the brownies Sue (with walnuts - TO DIE FOR!!!)and am planning on making the red velvet cake, but as cupcakes soon :)
