Not many to go

Thinking about baking

Just lately I have got hooked on Kerry Greenwood’s Corinna Chapman series. Set in a bakery, ‘” Earthly Delights”  Corinna is a baker par excellence. With a fantastic supporting cast,  it is very easy to get sucked in to the lives of the inhabitants of Insula, the Melbourne apartment building which houses the bakery and other unusual businesses. Of course, reading these books (there are 6 so far) has inspired me to do some baking. So far I have made white bread, which was delicious hot out of the oven, dripping with butter and some gorgeous honey that one of our lovely customers gave us for Christmas ( Thank you Helen, I am savouring the honey, so yummy.) My other lot was a wholemeal which I did in 4 small tins. Froze 3 and am having the rest for lunch with tamarillo chutney bought from the Farmers’ Market and sliced fresh tomato  with rock salt and black pepper.
