I grew up learning to bake from my mum's Be-Ro Home Recipes - a slender volume still going strong 70 odd years after first printed.
And if Be-Ro failed us there was always my Gran's fabulously named Radiation Cookbook.
Eventually, my mum added another classic - The Good Housekeeping Cookbook - to her repertoire, but we basically made lots of traditional English cakes. Meringues was about as fancy as we got.
With food trends working the way they do, by the time I bought my own first baking books - Delia Smith, Nigel Slater and Nigella Lawson's How to Be A Domestic Goddess - all those childhood faves were back in fashion.
The Alchemist |
I love the devotees - like Something Sweet and The Alchemist - who are completely committed to their craft ...
... the vintage fans recreating past glories like Yesterfood ...
... big blogs - like the Six Sisters - with hundreds and hundreds of recipes and those with just a few - like Twigg Studios - but everyone a gem ...
... multi-talented ladies - like Cup Cakes and Crinolines and A Handful of Everything - who post on all sorts of things but manage somehow to fit in an awful lot of brilliant baking ...
Twigg Studios |
... Brits, like Baking Aitch and Bangers and Mash (who does it on a budget), Australians like Domesblissity and South Africans like With A Blast ...
... the non-purists - like Memories by the Mile - who aren't afraid to reach for a packet to help them create something stunning ..
Domesblissity |
... those baking with children like Five Little Chefs ...
... and those - like Oh Mrs Tucker - who make me laugh whilst baking up a storm!
This list really is just a few of the brilliant bloggers who bake, who I am loving at the moment ... I would love to hear about your faves, do add them - including yourself! - to the list below ... I can't wait to discover your triumphs ...
