So I’m back. And still not smoking.

I’ve been doing a lot of cooking in the last couple of years, and feel comfortable enough to document what I make – for my own reference and (hopefully) that some of the information will be of use to others who want to cook similar things. Although I read a lot of recipes, I rarely follow any. I try to concentrate on the techniques rather than a rigid list of ingredients – as I heard recently: “learn a recipe and you’ll make a great meal – learn the technique and you’ll make a hundred of them”

Recipes always seem to assume some prior knowledge – one might say that you’ll get a “feel” for dough when it’s “right”. That’s of absolutely no use to anybody. I would far prefer to read that the dough “needs to feel like an earlobe”.

That’s over here at the new place: makesomebread.com
