I returned home yesterday to find 50 kilos of French flour
on my doorstep, so that I can continue what is fast becoming a bit of an
addiction in the bakery – my baguettes!!
I only started making them about 6 or 7 weeks ago and they are very
popular. I’m really pleased as I have
been enjoying making little tweaks along the way to master the method and they
are now a permanent fixture on my Loaves Menu.
Aswell as catching up with my son and my son’s (my!) friends
this week, I’m baking for a NEW farmers market on Friday, at the Village Hall
in Great Offley. It’s from 10am until
3pm and it is being officially opened by Jean Christope Novelli, a local French
chef famed for his cookery school and various appearances on the tele. I think the local press might be there
too. I must say, I am quite excited, particularly
as he only lives about 10-15 minutes’ walk from my home and that he might get
to taste my bread!
No pressure then...
