My new favourite celebrity baker

As it turns out, Jamie Oliver is a baking god. My two most recent baking adventures - which, I'll admit, have been few and far between of late - have used recipes from his website.

In January, the most incredible chocolate brownies which I made for the first - and disappointingly only - installment of my summer 'dessertation' project (work in progress, that one)


And, just this week, toffee apple tart to take to a friend's place for dessert.




Although the latter took upwards of 6 hours to make in total it was pretty tasty, and making everything from the pastry right through to the dulce du leche satisfied my inner homemaker.



Conveniently I had enough pastry left to make a few tartlets as well. Hello, afternoon tea.

Recipes here and here.
