By the way, anyone following the recipe I posted for cinnamon buns might be confused by the fact that I have left the butter out of the 'cinnamon butter' bit of the recipe. It should be 80g of butter,...

Hi Annsquire66, Good luck with the soda bread. And let us know how the sourdough goes, too, if you get there before me!

Applespider, I have never had a problem using fresh yeast as I love cooking and I see it as just another ingredient, albeit one that requires certain conditions to work properly. It is the responsibil...

Good to see so many posts! I am working up to the idea of making sourdough and love reading about your 'pet starters'! Applespider, you asked for yeast recipes. Well, here is a wonderful one for F...

I recently posted a thread to ask if anyone knew where I could buy fresh yeast. It seems there are quite a few keen bakers out there; one of you even offered to donate some 'sourdough starter' if I co...

Nevermind Roz's correspondence with Jim Dowd, what about those BBC articles posted in the archive? The 'punch up' may have been a while ago but these articles seem to say a lot about the culture of bu...

Sydenhamcentral, I think it would be great if town centre managers could take tips from more successful high streets. I am always amazed that Forest Hill does not have a more vibrant shopping area, co...

I find it curious that the Labour Party Faithful on this thread are more ready to sling mud at Piglet than to defend the poor record of the MP who is asking for re-election.
