    5 Stars It's bread, Jim but not as we know it. 02/06/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages No scary chemicals in and it tastes like angels tripping over your tongue

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No real instructions, has to be made by the seat of the pants, it takes ages and you, your kitchen and everything else will be covered in flour and congealed dough.

    I am one of those pathetic people who is allergic to lots of things... not really allergic enough to get up tight about but allergic nonetheless. High on the list of loved but banned foods is bread, or at least until recently. For year's I've been able to go home to the Sweary nest and eat truckloads of Mrs Sweary senior's home made bread but the minute I buy any round here Captain Acid comes to call and I end up chugging Rennies like there's no tomorrow. Well, first of all I'd assumed it was the chemicals they put in modern bread. I mean, what's in bread? Well I'd guess wheat, water, yeast ... more

    5 Stars Bready, Steady, Cook! 22/05/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages easy, cheap, enjoyable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None whatsoever!

    A short while ago a letter came home with my youngest son from school which was all about bread making. It specified that a six week course was about to be run for nine pupils in year 3 and a parent had to be free every Monday afternoon for six weeks to participate in the course with them; the first nine responses got a place and as I am in the very fortunate position of not working at the moment (so that I can be around for the children) my reply was swift and we gained a place. I feel so grateful that I got the place that I feel as though I need to spread the word about this very basic yet ... more

    5 Stars Bananas too ripe? Banana Bread is the answer! Review with images 02/10/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Uses up bananas that you would otherwise throw out

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It tastes best fresh, so you have to eat it quickly!

    This has always been a problem in our house - not a big one, obviously, but you know the situation. You buy fruit (bananas in particular), and then realise a week later that they've started to turn too ripe and no-one will eat them. The usual solution is to throw them in the bin, and then repeat the same thing next week. Not anymore. Now you have a solution to the problem - which tastes great too. That solution is... Banana Bread. I first saw this recipe on Blue Peter and thought nothing of it. But my dad insisted we try it and have been making it quite frequently ever since! In my opinion ... more

    5 Stars Bread in a hurry. 29/09/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages no yeast, tasty versatile, inexpensive.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages it doesn't last long.

    Can bread without yeast really be this tasty ? The answer of course is yes.! Quick to make, cheap to put together, and gone......... faster than the 45 minutes it takes to bake ! Many years ago , (when cooking was as alien to me as walking the Queen's corgi's would be to me today ) whilst browseing through various cook books I found a "gem" of a recipe book. The Woman's Weekly "Cook's Treasury" priced at a modest 70p . (An IPC magazine's publication. 1984.) The cover displayed a view of tasty looking food, from bread through to curry. It boasts over "300 tried and tested recipes." Most ... more

    5 Stars Bread Recipes 03/02/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy and Yummy!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Time

    I don't think there is anything more irresistible than the smell of bread cooking in the oven. The smell seems to linger round the house making everyone hungry. Here are some bread recipes that I class as my comfort food; I love the taste of warm fresh cooked bread, yummy! I've picked two bread recipes that are a little different to the norm, but I think that nowadays you can get fresh white and brown breads from most supermarkets so I thought it would be nice to do something a little different.
