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.

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!

What with the particularly squally weather this evening, decided to bunker in at home and make some cocktails. Made a Corpse Reviver No.2 but with a few alterations. No Lillet so used dry vermouth and a touch of simple syrup plus only had lime juice on hand. Still a beautiful cocktail.

What with the weather plummeting this week I am feeling the need to bake something cosy (me at every point in the year) and these coffee brioche buns with spiced streusel would do just the trick! eddkimber.substack.com/p/winter-cof...

Big mug of freshly brewed cardamom coffee and my beloved pooch beside me, keeping me company. Spending the day at my computer writing something I’m starting to feel very excited about.

After a year in our rather dilapidated renovation project, we’re finally ready to start the building works. Can’t wait to be rid of this kitchen, building works starting in January. #homerenovation
