    56. Recipes to Make this Autumn (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    With the seasons changing, I’ve taken some time out to enjoy everything that belongs to early Autumn; patiently watching chutney bubble with the gargantuan marrows that stud the undergrowth of the allotment, thrashing myself into wild waves before it gets too cold to brave longer than thirty seconds, packing away flowing white skirts and denim shorts but lovingly holding onto sandals until the bitter end, and lazily lying on the sofa all afternoon eating biscuits, drinking tea and reading Alice

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Wetter days, heavy skies and putting on trousers for the first time in four months signal a shift in seasons. It’s comforting and disheartening at the same time. I’ve been living in tandem with the weather for the last few months, while I live this sort-of holiday life by the coast.I’m finding it hard to imagine a world where my feet aren’t in sandals or covered in sand (now, a permanent feature of my car). So I’m clinging onto my shorts just like the postie.Will I get to lie on the beach one la

    Yep, I just finished another bake shift - the reason this is slightly delayed. Hopefully you’re all, quite rightly, either in the pub or enjoying a long bank holiday weekend somewhere glorious. Cornwall, perhaps?One of the best things about being up before everyone else is that you get to see some pretty spectacular things: pink sunrises, wildlife darting around (on the roads with a death wish), and last night/this morning, the most amazing partial lunar eclipse.My shoddy, flour-covered iPhone w

    55. Giving Up On A Cake (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    My first proper experience of rain in Cornwall never felt so good. A long time over due. The air is warm, with thick, hazy drops and cotton-wool clouds, sodden like grey socks. Its balmy weight feels like the monstrous thunderstorms in New York City, where my sister once pulled me from the curb to hide beneath a tree while water gushed down the Brooklyn avenues. The air filled with a cacophony of roars as thunder rolled through, and the tarmac gave off that hot, wet, burning-rubber like smell th

    Perhaps I should call this Notes After a Bake Shift, as I’m once again writing this, perhaps slightly deliriously, after (you guessed it) a 2am bake shift.My bread today wasn’t my finest work, which had me in a slight funk. Well, I’m being hard on myself (surprise, surprise) as there were some lovely, lovely-looking loaves, but they were unfortunately outnumbered by some perhaps less lovely-looking loaves.
