An ambitious Italian baking session initiated by Melanie, @10second_fame our lodger, turned into an evening of food styling and tea for two. Tom Samuel’s Swirligig board provided a perfect platform to showcase these delicate Sfogliatelle. Pastries and photos courtesy of Melanie. #breadboard #sfogliatella #tomsamuel #italianfood #italianpastry #foodstyling
Spelt. Another foray into the unknown. Fuelled the Roman legions, so says the packet. So I had a go at a ‘quadratus’, the Pompeii loaf. Dense fragrance, wonderful tasty. On a simple 18c platter reminiscent of Roman wooden plates which Rosslyn handled in The Archaeological Museum Napoli. #sharphamparkspelt #romanempire #romans #breadboard #speltbread #lockdown
Sellout banana bread from the book. I left it cooling and when I came back it was half gone. Wolfed by my son who doesn’t do dessert and my daughter who doesn’t do bananas. #baking #bananabread #marielester #vintagebreadboards #homebaking #lockdown2020 #prospectbooks
We’re zooming! Emma Anthony at GLL Wandsworth is getting inspired with a series of local heritage get-togethers. Totally lifted my spirits after all the cancellations! To contact Emma and get the invite email heritage@gll.org Also: https://twitter.com/Better_WHS/status/1252136111666839552 #breadboardmuseum #museumsathome #lockdown #cultureinquarantine #nichemuseums #Better_WHS #breadboards
Scones for breakfast. I know. But I’ll be burning some of it off at the allotment today. Followed Marie’s recipe in the bb book. The trigger was 3 pints of turning milk. Maura down the road said it’s perfect for scones. The scones look rugged but it’s a lovely softinside-crunchyoutside combo. Pastry cutters came from my grandmother’s house, no idea how they survived the culls as they were never used after she passed away in 1976. The rolling pin is seared with ‘Allerton’s Bakers & Confectioners’ and appears in the book. #breadboard #scones #breakfast #vintagestyle #vintagebreadboards
