The Great British Bake Off is, to some of us, entertaining
television. An extra ordinary range of human emotions are laid out for our
delectation. We have tears and unparalleled joy. It looks as though it is not
the winning but the taking part!
The recent program on `Patisserie’ allowed us an insight
into the complexity of French baking. It did look, at times, as if a glorious
fail was just as important as a soul searing win. The children among us (and
here I include myself) would possibly have preferred a good old fashioned
fudge.
Two and a half cups of
water
Half a pint of water

It really is simple:

Stir until the mixture cools.
Cut into squares
Eat whilst ploughing through an eleven plus verbal reasoning
paper.
Heaven!
