At Christmas this year, I was thrilled when I unwrapped
How to Bake - the carbtastic
food porn recipe book by Paul Hollywood of
Great British Bake Off fame. Ash - known to many as the world's most sensible man - also kindly gave me the
Hairy Dieters' recipe book too, probably in an attempt to ensure that I don't home-bake myself to a coronary. We've tried some of the Hairy Dieter's recipes - which have been good - but let's face it, none of them are ever going to be quite as exciting as Paul's baps and buns.
I should probably just learn to embrace the fact that low carb and low fat does not a happy Becs make. I'm a pretty rubbish dieter, and as much as the Hairy Dieters book is full of lovely stuff, it's also full of lines like "serve with a tiny portion of rice, or half a slice of bread" - which is probably the worst thing you can say to a woman who likes carbs as much as I do.
