    Hi all,

    Looking for some advice

    OH & I spend a lot on baked goods in our shopping budget, As I've stumbled across this thread, Is there any reps you could give to me.

    (I NEED something fool proof, Because i'm very much a rubbish cook and baker!! :D:D:D:D)

    Many thanks in advance

    Hi PD!

    OH loves lunch box snacks like lemon slices, brownies, ect. However it scares the life out of me baking as i tried once in school and set fire to a pizza base! SAFE to say I've never tried again.

    At the moment i don't want to try anything that is more complex, Simple is the way forward...

    Some maybe start with some cakes?
    Thanks for the inbox too! Will be having a read shortly with a cuppa. :)

    If I was to put up all the recipes and websites I have bookmarked that are lovely and easy I suspect you'd be overwhelmed:)I am determined to give baking a go again...but when you are single it is so easy just to buy but baking/cooking is theraputic and its great to say "I did that!"

    I have all the gadgets, bowls and tins(plus ingredients that are needed so...)If I succeed I'll post some images;)but now I often buy from local food producers who offer something really special compared to shop bought and I probably could make no better(or cheaper)

    I would start with flapjacks, not many ingredients, simple to make. Just take them out of the oven whilst still soft, before they look done. I hope that makes sense.
