[tinkerbell23]

I know its tv but im in food & drink

Looks sooo good.

I love baking! Its not as easy as you think is it!!

That poor woman who dropped hers.

The bookman was in work selling mary berrys book. I quite fancy it x

Im am extremely grateful I can't bake, I would be the size of a house if I could.

But yes, i'm watching it too- drooling as well i might add.

I'm going to start doing more proper cooking now that I have so much time on my hands - just got to think what to make.

I love baking (as you know from my FB!) and I would have been lost these past few months if I couldn't whip up a cake. Hopefully a wee business will come from it....fingers crossed! lol
Mary Berry's book is good, but the two Great British Bake Off books are fabulous if you can get them. xx

[tinkerbell23]

Ill look in the charity shops! £9 from the bookman.

They had one called two greedy itallians voddy LOL ;0>

That white choc n rasp looked amazing to me thats possibly my fave combo!???

Boo do you ever try to? I bet you could with your cake expertise!! Hehehe

Id love to try marys cooking
Ive been lacking recently with hobbies.

My gran makes THEE best clootie ever. I feel like calling her to see if she fancies a bake off. Wish we lived a teeny bit closer voddy xxx

The only reason Boo can't bake is that she never seems to get past that part of the recipe which reads, "Now put all the ingredients into the oven, instead of getting a big ladle and shovelling them down your neck."

Tinks, I absolutely love cookery books and used to buy loads from the book man when I working (far too tight to buy books at the 'proper' price).

[tinkerbell23]

Debbie browns books have you seen them sherr/vod? Esp if vod wants to go into business!?

We used to get them at my previous workplace. Called 'The Book People', you can get them online at www.thebookpeople.co.uk

It was in a sick way quite heartening to watch erstwhile excellent bakers crashing and burning (well not burning but undercooking) on something. I can't cook Yorkshire puddings....well not with a traditional one egg recipe. I find that master baker quite mesmerising. Is it the combination of man and cake..or is it the sparkly blue eyes? Not sure but he is gorgeous. My personal favourite was the walnut whip cake. Who cares if it was dry. I bet those folks from Cadbury's are grabbing the idea as I write.

[sherrardk]

Angel, first time I cooked Yorkshire pudding I had to cook at our (then) pub for paying customers - just measure the stuff out by volume - do the eggs first and then measure everything else in the same thing by eye (something like a glass). Perfect everytime.

Take a look at the Book People's website for cookery books Tinks, I've had some good buys from there as has queenofmean.

I love this programme but no-one else I know watches it so I can never discuss it. The cakes etc that they produce are really good. They put their heart and soul into their baking. My money is on Brendan to win. But that may change next week. The books were about £10 at Asda btw. :)

[valerieb1254]

I also love the programme, never miss it.Does anyone else think Paul Hollywood is gorgeous,those eyes do it for me. I use a site which I love, it's called the Pink Whisk. It's by Ruth Clemens the winner of the first series of The Great British Bake Off in 2010. I love baking, do it most days.
