Cultural recipes

After years at university with dodgy ovens, I have started baking.

The oven here is also dodgy, but in a whole different way.

Sifting through magazines, I found a stack of National Trust ones. These included a recent list of their top five best sellers in their café, with recipes.

With no thought to our personal safety, we’ve been attempting variations which steadily cut down the sugar content. I’m now doing sugar-free scones and extremely reduced sugar chocolate brownies.

We didn’t know the sugar had such a pronounced structural effect on chocolate brownie – it’s gooey because of the sugar. Ours is more crumbly, but still tastes good.

    Stack of magazines? Don’t you have the book?

    Ha, long live thriftstores! !

    I must say, this and the cookbook from Roald Dahl look amazing but the recipes are sugar coated.
