I buy quite a lot of cookbooks and baking books, I don't think it's that weird, I like cooking/baking?

But I do think the twins have milked their book capacity for all its worth now. 'Disco bakes' isn't a thing. Also, I'd be reluctant to give them money for recipes. They're not like Jane of Jane's Patisserie for example who I like supporting because she does a lot of free recipes as well as the books.

I didn’t say it was weird? I worded it wrong I actually meant who is buying these influencers books? They mainly plagiarise anyway and surely they are internet based these days? I still use Mary Berry cookbooks, it’s not about the books it’s about the people bringing them out.

I didn’t rate janes first book. A lot of books now are biscoff this biscoff that and I’m just not a fan. They also copy each other a lot. I’ve found janes online recipes better than her books, I do also prefer ripping out of magazines. But it’s personal preference and if you have any 10/10 baking books send them recommendations across

True she is biscoff mad and I'm not a fan. Also too many cheesecakes. But I like having her book because I use all her recipes for basics - brownies, cookies, flapjacks etc - and I like having a hard copy version of those.

I have a huge mix so not sure what you'd like! But the ones I use the most are Bread Ahead's 'Baking School' for your kind of traditional/classic baking (no gimmicky decorating here, it's all about bread, brownies, getting the basics spot on) their baking classes are amazing as well if you're near London, pricey but worth it, I've done a few. I have a few books from the Australian Women's Weekly which are brilliant, the best one is a huge yellow one called Bake and they also have other books like kids' cakes etc if you do need something like that. For special occasion ideas/cupcakes I still like the Hummingbird Bakery 'Cake Days' book even though it's quite old now. And James Morton's book 'How Baking Works' is really good if you're at all interested in the science behind baking. I like Cupcake Jemma's Youtube recipes but I bought her book and didn't think much of it so I'd swerve that one

I tried Jane's carrot cake recipe and it was the most tastless carrot cake I've ever tasted and I find her even more annoying than the twins if that's possible
 
Would anyone else be annoyed if their husband missed their first wedding anniversary to go away with the boys? I’m not married but I wouldn’t be very happy.. Dec has gone away today with the boys and sent Rach a card for their anniversary.

Would anyone else be annoyed?!

I personally wouldn't but each to their own.
It was obviously agreed before hand so I'm sure she doesnt have an issue with it

I’d be fuming. I think she’s annoyed, rightly so. First anniversary. Wouldn’t be so bad if it was other ones but the first one!! Eekkk

that’s what I thought. They come across as laid back but I’d be pissed off my other half was in the sun on a golfing/boozy holiday whilst I was at home with the kids on our first wedding anniversary. Just feels 🥴

She commented on a pic saying she was spending the day with her other bf 🤣

😂 under all the lols, xoxox and Alba content I think Rach must feel eurghhhh that her husband hasn’t prioritised her and is off drinking with the lads abroad. I’d be livid

My little cousin sent me a box of ‘finch goodies’ which are like huge brownie bar things. I can’t even describe how bad they are! She ordered them for fast delivery. They are stale to the point of inedible. They weigh loads but are genuinely just a mix of heavy sugary goop. Anyone tempted to buy from here I really wouldn’t waste your money. I have had things when they first started that were really good but those days are long gone
They don’t even do fast delivery?
