I moved house recently and this was the first bake that I made using my new oven. Now that we've settled, I'm hoping to get back to baking regularly. Here's the recipe: https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/savarin_with_chantilly_30509 The recipe said to beat the mixture with a wooden
Series 7, Episode 8, Jumbles
I made these a couple of months ago and forgot nearly everything about them. Let's see how I get on. Here's the recipe https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/jumble_biscuits_20028 I couldn't find all of the spices needed for this so needed to do some substitutions. Instead of caraway
Series 7, Episode 7, Marjolaine
This one was a pretty intense bake, which is why it's taken me 6 months to get round to doing it. Here's the recipe: https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/marjolaine_71611 Since I knew this was a lot of work, I set aside most of the day and took
Series 7, Episode 6, Fresh Herb Fougasse
When this episode was first on TV, I decided that I wanted to make fougasse, so I did. This was the third time I've made this recipe but there was a long time between two and three. Here's the recipe: https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/fresh_herb_fougasse_70351 For
Series 7, Episode 5, Bakewell Tart
This is another bake from series 7 that I've previously made, though I'm not sure I used this recipe: https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/marys_bakewell_tart_12584 I did this time though. I'd run out of my homemade jam so needed to make some more. Unfortunately, I couldn't find
Series 7, Episode 4, Heart-Shaped Lace Pancakes

Series 7, Episode 3, Dampfnudel
This is another one of those bakes where I have no idea what it's supposed to look or taste like, so I have no idea how well I did. Maybe you can judge me. Here's the recipe: https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/dampfnudel_36590 The dough for this was
Series 7, Episode 2, Viennese Whirls
I've made Viennese Whirls a couple of times before, but I'm pretty sure it was a slightly different recipe I used. Here's Mary Berry's which I used this time https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/marys_viennese_whirls_96895 I have to confess here, the recipe included making the jam, but

Series 6, Episode 10, Raspberry millefeuille
This bake is the final bake from Series 6, which has taken over a year for me to complete. I'll aim for at least 2 series for 2024. Here's the recipe: https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/raspberry_millefeuille_60382 I started off making the rough puff pastry. This was a
