One of the joys of my new kitchen was getting rid of my old cooker. Now I know a workman should never blame his tools for his failures, but I had never made a single decent cake in the one that has just been chucked out and so I was keen to try the new one out.
So, reclining on my Crock of the Day, a plate bought for 10p in a jumble sale, is my first essay at a sponge in the new oven and thrilled to bits that it came out ok and tasted delicious. Since then I have made another cake and a few batches of scones so I feel I am now set fair.
Thank goodness.
