Inspired by the film, Julie and Julia, I had the idea that I too would like to set myself a cooking challenge. I am not so ambitious as to try to work my way through a classic French cookbook, but I am slightly obsessed by the Great British Bake Off and dream of one day starting my own baking business.
I really started thinking about this last year, and then chickened out. To do it this year may be totally mad, given that when GBBO first airs next week I will be 25 weeks pregnant with baby number 3 & the series will take me through to the late stage of my pregnancy! I am not one to make life easy for myself though, so am going to just go with it.
The plan is this; each week I will make either the technical challenge or the showstopper challenge from that week's show, sharing the recipe, photos of my (hopefully) successful bakes and some of my chit chat about my experience.
Fingers crossed, somebody out there will read and enjoy.
