Meg,where would I get fresh yeast from?...your homemade loaves look so yummy,..I can also tell how fresh they are,..not now as they would be stale,

I have been looking through the thread,..so many accomplished bakers on here!...

Has anyone here entered their baking into a small family village fete?...or maybe you have had a cake stall,...I find homemade,cake,scones,etc,fly off the stall,I believe it's making a comeback as well.

You can buy fresh baker's yeast from Sainsbury's at the bakery counter. Ask for 100g of yeast. It will cost about 70p.

Morrisons stores also used to sell yeast but it was in one of the shelved areas and often hard to find. They were presented in polystyrene trays with 4 foil wrapped cubes of yeast in them.

And of course you can buy dried yeast packets just about anywhere though personally I never use them. I find fresh yeast a much better product.

My lovely steak & kidney pie i made this afternoon has just gone in the oven.
It smells so great even the dogs are forming a disorderly queue.

Re: What are you baking today?

Steak and kidney pie,sounds delicious,do you do a pastry crust on top or pastry top and bottom of pie?....as for the dogs,bless them!.

Re: What are you baking today?

Always top and bottom Pauline or i can't really call it a pie.

Your chocolate brownies look delicious, Pauline.

This afternoon I am planning on making two batches of my homemade chocolate chip cookies. I haven't made them this winter, but everyone love these cookies, so I will share them with a couple of neighbors. I love the smell of them baking in the oven.
