A quick note to let you know about two baking events this week:
Tomorrow 18th October I’ll be at the Guildford Book Festival at the Electric Theatre, 12:30, talking about baking, books and getting the most from both: what to look for when you’re buying a baking book, how to choose one that will suit the baking you have in mind, and of course how to get the flavours and textures in the breads, cakes and cookies that you bake that seem a little elusive. I’ll be answering all your questions and wont rush away at the end. For further details go to the www.guildfordbookfestival.co.uk page about the talk. It’s a bargain at £6 and will leave you much more confident in your baking and with more tips to dazzle your friends with.
Then next Sunday 23rd October, up in Durham at the Palace Green (next to the beautiful Durham Cathedral and Durham Castle) at 12 midday I’ll be talking about bread, sourdough, and getting the perfect crust and crumb in your bread. Give me a nudge and I’ll get onto cakes and Christmas planning, but whatever baking you’re into we’ll have the answer. The event will be as much about exploring your own baking ideas and successes, and getting everyone exchanging ideas. One big mixing bowl of baking ideas. Even better: the talk is free. Just bring yourselves, something warm if this winter weather gets to us sooner than expected, and enjoy some of the baking from the Palace Green Café.

See you there!
