Spent a lovely day with friends celebrating Christmas and food. Last night I made this loaf and flavoured it with caraway seeds. I think next time I’ll try rye flour and make it taste really German. It took far too long to rise so not sure what I did differently. Anyway it tastes good so the baking continues.
Also cooked this Apple Normandy tart a la Paul Hollywood tonight. It’s frightening how much butter and sugar it has in it. Took a bit longer to cook as the tin I used is deeper than recommended.
More friends to dinner tomorrow and this hopefully will star. Time for bed.

I'm new to blogging. I love the idea of keeping an online diary about my life in London. I like the idea that similarly minded people can peep into my life and find things to laugh about and nod in agreement (or not). I've lived in London for 21 years and come from Melbourne. This blog increasingly is becoming a diary of my growing baking interests. I've made a deal with myself to bake a loaf of bread every week and so for the last 2 months I have. I love to cook especially for friends. I have my own inner city allotment just 5 mins cycle away at King Henry's Walk and try to subsist in Summer. Please feel free to comment; I love to engage.
