Hello Bluesky, I’m a baker and cookbook author from London. Hoping to recapture some of the old twitter magic.
10 years ago I wrote a book called Patisserie Made
Simple, a book I am so proud of. Sadly it went out of print a few years ago but, my publisher has decided to revive it for its 10th anniversary! French Bakes Made Simple is out in the US + Canada June 10th, UK on Aug 28th. amzn.to/427y0kj

Today’s recipe testing involved these beautiful little morsels. Cocoa croissant dough with fresh pear compote and whipped milk chocolate ganache. Testing for a big upcoming project

Flights booked. Finally visiting Copenhagen, in May. For someone as obsessed with baking and design as me I am shocked it’s taken me this long to arrange a trip!

Anyone got any idea where I can find pretzel salt in the UK, struggling to find anyone that sells it.

If, hypothetically, I was to write my last ever chocolate chip cookie recipe, what elements would you include to make it the all time best? What type of chocolate would you use, what flour? Any additional ingredients, any different techniques?

I’ve been home in Yorkshire for the past week so obviously had to visit one of my favourite bakeries, Nova Bakehouse, in Leeds. Throughly enjoyed the rhubarb and custard semla, beautiful as always!

Spending a week doing some serious recipe testing, thrilled with how this turned out! A beautiful cocoa swirled milk bread.

Just found out I was fined by TFL on CHRISTMAS EVE for accidentally turning right onto a road when I was only allowed to drive straight on! Especially annoying as I was following the satnav.

We moved into our rather run down renovation project exactly a year ago. Today, we finally signed the contract for our builder. He and his team are starting the renovation first thing next Monday morning. So excited! Also meeting with our brilliant kitchen designer Monday to nail down the design!

Our long awaited kitchen renovation starts in 10 days so today I have to sort out 15 years of accumulated baking equipment! Going to need a lot of coffee!

Like clockwork I’ve got flu, it’s like my body knows I’ve stopped working for Christmas and decides this is the best time to get sick! For some reason all I’m craving is a big bowl of spaghetti bolognese, but like a crappy retro British version. Nostalgia I guess.

Two lovely simple desserts for you this Christmas. A simplified trifle recipe and my personal favourite - baked nutmeg custard with rum soaked raisins and hazelnut streusel

Simple but impressive, these laidback versions of classic desserts provide the final flourish to dinner

I need some recommendations. After lots of boring and delays I still don’t understand we are finally about to start out home renovations. As I still have to work we are relocating the kitchen to the spare bedroom. I need an oven I can use for work but which plugs into a regular electrical socket?

How do I lose my earphone case so often!? I need one I can track, like find my iPhone. I know the Apple EarPods have this functionality but they don’t fit my ears. Any recommendations that have tracking for the earphones themselves and the charging case?

Watching the final of Bake Off and, from the kitchen, my boyfriend heard they had to make a hanging cake, he’s ranting about how ridiculous the idea is. He would like to know ‘who the hell would ever make a hanging cake. It’s just a dumb challenge’ 😂
