I’ve been a little quiet on here lately. I’ve I’ve been a little quiet on here lately. I’ve been spending more time with family, baking celebration cakes, and getting everything ready for our Festive Workshop—interspersed with some stunning early-morning walks by the river. Beautiful wreaths and table arrangements were created, and I hope everyone went home with plenty of inspiration for their Christmas entertaining (see stories).

It’s already the second Sunday of Advent, so it’s high time for me to turn my attention to decorating my home and preparing a few festive treats…

Last week was a busy one — I’ve been making th Last week was a busy one — I’ve been making the most of the wild mushrooms while they’re still around.

1. Buttery sautéed chanterelles with poached egg and sourdough crumbs
2. A blackberry and bay celebration cake — I adore these autumn flavours
3. Incredible seasonal colours
4. A coconut and raspberry cake
5. And a warming wild mushroom soup

I finished the week on such a happy note — a lovely Friday morning teaching how to make sourdough. 

How did your week go?

Here’s the promised new bun shaping technique… Here’s the promised new bun shaping technique…

Just follow the Cardamom Bun recipe from my book, then shape them this way — it’s easier than it looks!

You can also use this technique for:

~ Nordic cinnamon
~ Chocolate tahini
~ Blueberry & cream cheese
~ Pistachio, lime & rose
~ Hazelnut butter & date
~ Tosca
~ Festive
~ Saffron, almond & orange

Pretty swirled buns every time. 

Recipe from ’Buns, Sweet and Simple Bakes’.
