That is precisely what does/doesn’t work for me! Baking is a science; measurements, weights, getting out the scales, realising you don’t have the butter at exactly the right temperature, cursing yourself for not reading the recipe through…I love other people’s efforts all the more because I know how exacting the process is.

Lucy – My problem is that a) I don’t get excited about cakes and b) although I love bread, I don’t like to eat a lot of it. Therefore, I don’t bake often. Plus, I love the freedom of cooking (ooh, more rosemary, more pepper, what about some coriander, let’s add…). This does not work with baking, it seems.

This, though, yum! Once again, I’m craving the spoils of your summer garden…

I will definitely try this recipe. all I need to get is the pumpkin seeds. I love courgette. The last time I baked with it, I made a cake and didn’t drain the grated courgette and the cake turned out a bit wet!But it tasted good, so it was not such a disaster. ;-)

Think one cup is equal to 230g though. Check that out! I’m not entirely certain!

I just have one, very American, question: for the dry measure, should I be weighing out the grams of flour? I really don’t know what 350 grams is in cups. I know, we really should be on the metric system! Thanks!

More ideas. Maybe you are my muse! As for the seeds, I didn’t toast them. Quite like them chewy. Suspect they’ll be tastier toasted though.

Rose – Agree – each to their own. :)

Chris – I’ve visited Wanaka too. Amazing location. The jet lag killed me though!

Johanna – I may have the bread making bug!

Anh – You are very sweet! :)

Pls bake more – you are a fantastic baker and I love to see more of your bakes… :)
