Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Sweet and salty popcorn pretzels

    • MilduraSO on December 30, 2021

      I made these (minus the popcorn) over the Christmas holidays. They were beautiful but I didn’t roll them out as long as instructed and they grew into pretzel rolls rather than pretzels so were great for a breakfast bun filled with eggs in my case and bacon for everyone else. When rolling out, dampen your hands a little to help with grip and stretch.

  • Bagels

    • MilduraSO on December 30, 2021

      I’ve made these a few times now. I couldn’t find molasses so use treacle instead. They often go wrinkly during the boiling stage but after recently making the pretzels which came out smooth I think I’ll take a tip from that recipe and freeze the dough for an hour after proving and before boiling.

  • New York-style baked cheesecake

    • Beth891 on June 07, 2025

      I made this gluten and lactose free by subbing in freee self raising flour and using lacto free cream cheese and cream. The only other change I made was to swap lemon juice for cream if tartar as I didn't have any and I didn't add any lemon zest to the sponge. Really delicious but I'd add a bit more vanilla or even vanilla bean paste to the cheesecake part next time. It needed longer than an hour in my top oven as it was very wobbly in the middle. I gave it 10 more minutes but I could have given it just 5 more insDefinitely one to make again!

  • Waffles

    • Beth891 on August 11, 2024

      A denser waffle than Nigella's (from At your table) but it's lovely and crisp. There is no whipping of eggs so that speeds up the prep time which makes it a great waffle for the weekend. I'd make them again but I think I'm still on the hunt for my perfect waffle!
