    Yes - I just bought it in Tesco for £10 - and they had only got the one copy so I nabbed it quick - couldn't wait for amazon and my birthday!!

  • Sigh. I am so weak. I was just in Asda, they had the book for £12 and I bought it. Never mind that I'm supposed to be baking only low fat recipes at the moment as I'm on a diet :(

    A lot of cakes are quite low fat :) (and you can use vegetable oil or margarine for many).

    High in sugar, though. :(

    Watched the second episode on iplayer last night (haven't seen the first yet) and was impressed at all the tips and hints for improving our baking that we are getting from Paul Hollywood - he certainly knows his stuff! And Mary Berry is great, too! Will have to watch the first episode today sometime..

    if it's 'not yet dispatched' you could still cancel it and pick one up from tesco instead, it's only when it's on 'dispatching soon' that you can't cancel

    I spotted the book yesterday in Lakeland, it's only £10 there too.

    Anyone watch it tonight? I'm watching it now. It's making me want to go and make bread immediately, even though it's 11:30pm and I've just got back from work!
