M is for… Mustard and for Mysterious Macro function that is almost as random in its results as my bread slashing!
We have been growing this brilliant variety of Mustard in our little raised bed this year. I love it. It grows fast and well, the slugs and pigeons leave it alone, and it is just mustardy enough not to bring tears to my eyes like some of these alternative salad leaves do.
L is for … lames (pronounced like lamb or la-muh) *
One of the most common questions that people ask when they make their own bread is how to get those lovely patterns on the top of the loaves and whether a special lame (blade) will magically transform their loaf into an artisanal artefact.
K is for Krenit bowls with their wonderful vibrant enamelled insides and their dark matte exteriors. These bowls are loved with a passion by everyone in my family. My mother used to bring them home with her when she had been back to Denmark and gave them to others for presents.
