You won't know yourself when you do a big cookup Kimmy.  Enjoy.

Yes,  another baking book.  Bought yesterday at Readings and have just spent 2 hours reading it from cover to cover!

Katie,  how come I haven't seen that great looking bread book? Let us know what you think of it.

I really like this book Chookie. He is a French baker who lives in the UK.

I have his first book "Dough" which I also love. It probably has more variety of recipes in it, whilst "Crust" is more about specialty breads like sourdough.

Both books have lots of technical info on bread making as well as recipes. Very interesting reading. I made this bread a few weeks ago from the Dough book.

Thanks Katie. That bread looks yum. You can never have enough bread books. I may be checking out Book Depository soon.

I'm not sure what happened, but somehow I ordered these two books. I must have had a momentary lapse.  ;D ;D ;D

We haven't heard from Maddy or Hally for quite some time. So sad, perhaps they are very busy. Maddy's candle business may be going well.

I wish they'd both pop back in too.
I was seduced by POK again today as they've got green frypans on special. A few other things might have slipped into my trolley too......

I was seduced by POK too when they had the new Paklite Flightlite luggage on sale. Bought a trio for only $150 normally over $500 and they each weigh just over 2 kilos . I will no doubt never use the biggest one unless I go on a cruise which would be never.

Then I got finger twitching on the MOFO wine site. One tap and the wine is yours.  I won't even give you the link as it is bloody dangerous.
