Saturday Baking Challenge: An Introduction

Welcome to the Saturday Baking Challenge, a blog about, well baking, obviously, most specifically on a Saturday.

Since I managed to get my hands on my very own kitchen that I could make as much mess as I liked in, I’ve been experimenting with cooking a whole smorgasbord of cuisines, but by far the one that fills me with most pleasure (and calories) is baking.

Because it can take a fair old bit of time to bake something, and because of the caloriffic nature of such things, I restrict myself to baking only on a Saturday, and have christened this event ‘The Saturday Baking Challenge.’

Every week I attempt to bake something. This will either be something completely new, a variation on something I’ve baked before, or an attempt to make a favourite even better.

So far I’ve tried cheesecake, tiramisu, gingerbread, carrot cake and brownies. Each with varying degrees of tastiness and success. This blog will chart those successes and failures – I hope you enjoy reading about it as much as I enjoy cooking and eating them.

If you’ve got any suggestions or recipes that you think I should try, please do let me know, I’d love to hear them.
