The series may have ended but it's certainly got people talking and more importantly (for me) it's got me baking again, and better still, it's got me baking with my daughter.  There is something incredibly satisfying about seeing your offspring learning the same skills that your own Mother taught you (far too many years ago!!).  Last Sunday we had a happy and messy time in the kitchen producing a very delicious Lemon Drizzle Cake (my daughter's own work) and a set of basket topped jam tarts (again down to my daughter) plus an Apple Pie (my work).  Last night I made Soda Bread for the first time and am now itching to try some different variations on that theme.  Good for the soul if not the waist-line!!

I would like to make it clear however, that I am not a Frances and never will be - her ingenuity and presentation simply amazed me, but I'll stick to the 'rustic' look for now!
