It’s not often that I’m out in the big ol’ world, just baking, but for certain days it seems the right thing. So for World Aids Day on December 1st I’ll be doing just that: for one evening at the Wandsworth Oasis charity bookshop at 17, Trinity Road, Tooting, South London. It’s a small charity in my area of south London, helping local people living with or affected by HIV/AIDS, and having lost many very close friends over the years to this illness I thought I’d make a start by doing more to help them.
On Thursday December 1st, at 7:30 pm I’ll be talking about baking and writing: about working in kitchens and how to survive in them without losing your mind, and how changing paths in life will invite new opportunities and ideas in. There will be sweet things I’ve baked for you to try, and everyone who buys a ticket – £25 per person – gets a signed copy of my book as well.
Space is very limited – hey, it’s a charity shop with only so much standing room - but equally it will be intimate with lots of time to ask David (my partner and the editor of Short & Sweet) or me questions, meet other people and help a charity that does brilliant work every day of the year.

What a great and generous idea. If I lived closer, I’d be there. Your involvement will definitely raise the profile of the evening and help swell the coffers.
Very much enjoyed last night. Many thanks! I pigged out so outrageously on your sausage rolls that I had no room for brownies. But the two we smuggled out will be pudding tonight.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers
It was a great evening. Thanks for the advice on my rye leaven.
