Let’s Bake and have some fun!!! I have discovered a love for the Great British Bake Off, the competitive aspect of it as well as the science behind the baking. I have always loved baking but didn’t realize until I watched this how much it was “my happy place.” I am always baking, cakes for the family, special tarts for special occasions, quiches, pies, but have never done anything more technical than a lemon tart, pavlova and profiteroles!! I came to the realization that a fabulous way to have fun this year would be to do a “Julie and Julia” but not with French cooking, by working my way through “The Great British Bake Off Big Book of Baking.” It is a book of classics including Biscuits, Breads, Cakes, Sweet Pastries, Savoury Bakes and Puddings, with recipes from both Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood. I have decided to bake 13 recipes a month so as to bake all 120 recipes before the end of the year to challenge myself and more importantly, have some fun!!!! Wish me luck and happy baking/eating! 🙂
