The happy hay face! Beach looks nice too. Can’t believe you sent the ewerythmics to fat camp but then gave them treats through the fence

I like the Kitchen Devil’s knives. They have different sizes and are affordable.

I have a Japanese-made 17cm santoku knife that I use for everything except hard vegetables like sweet potato or squash as they will ruin the edge. If I want to chop something hard I have a relatively cheap Sabatier 20cm knife that I don't care about as much. Those have been the only two knives I've been using for about 8-9 years now, they're the perfect size to do everything.

What! You don't use your bread knife for everything?!

Seriously, thanks. I was thinking of just getting a cook's knife of each length and a couple of paring knives. Maybe some duplicates of the most used ones. I use the bread knife that was given to my parents as a wedding present in 1946 - family heirloom.

For bread only, obviously, not being a smol maverick pixie.

And even Little Nine is not very little any more - she's having a single.

Ohhh lambing season always makes me think of my mum. Her friend had sheep and I can vividly remember Mum being asked to help lamb. I was very young at the time and went along with her, standing on the gate watching in awe. That, coupled with your beautiful view is just *chefs kiss* right now. Thank you for sharing!

Just checking in on you also @FeelingPrawny - no pressure to respond, I just wanted you to know you're thought of and have love sent your way xxx

Hello,
Quickly popped over from the JM thread with a food question.
I recently made a Chocolate Cake using a recipe from BBC Good food one of Jackie's favourite sites but I'm not claiming the recipe as my invention and it used sunflower oil instead of butter and I was really impressed how easy to make and how light the sponge was.

I'm looking for a Coffee cake recipe using oil too. I'm a crap cook like Jackie so it has to be easy/idiot proof.

Thanks

I make a white sauce by blending soaked cashew nuts, soya milk, nutritional yeast, garlic, mustard and salt and pepper. I mix in wilted spinach and then layer that with a basic tomato sauce and lasagne sheets. No amounts but is easy to do by eye/by taste testing.

Did that also have golden syrup in it? I made that chocolate cake this week!

Yes it did! I was quite impressed. I don’t seem to be able to find the equivalent in a coffee cake.
Yeah the effort to results ratio was really impressive! I don't make coffee cake very often at all but if I find anything I'll post it here!

I think it is the easiest cake I have ever made. Plonk everything in a bowl, stir! As I said I'm not the best cook but like you say "the effort to results ratio was really impressive!"

Easy chocolate fudge cake recipe | BBC Good Food if anyone's interested. Or are there any knowledgeable bakers who could adapt this to coffee? Or shall I tweet Jack the literal food expert bung it in a curry?
