The idea of whipping and cooking egg whites used to make me want to lie down in a dark room. They always seemed far too difficult and after a horrific attempt many years ago, my desire to ever work w...
Please excuse my absence from the blogosphere. I’ve been a busy little bee the last few months. I’ve started a new job and got married! Yes, my partner and I finally got our shit together...
Carrying on from my previous post, my fascination with homemade bread continues. I am currently in my second week of of nurturing a sourdough starter and it is bubbling away beautifully. I am too imp...
