Gently first and then perhaps rising to a persistent but congenial frenzy. The run-up to Christmas. By now, "Stir-up Sunday" has been and gone. It's a day that's defined in the Anglican church as the last Sunday before Advent, its dedicated prayer beseeching that our wills... http://www.lighthousebakery.co.uk/news/_15/ http://www.lighthousebakery.co.uk/news/_15/ Tue, 07 Dec 2010 16:41:47 GMT Associated with the wise goddess, Athena, owls often appear in the logos of libraries or other seats of learning. They would make an appropriate emblem for the rural baker: solitary and somewhat nocturnal, our two-legged species have much in common, though bakers may hopefully be more competent than Winnie-the-Poooh's Wol... http://www.lighthousebakery.co.uk/news/_14/ http://www.lighthousebakery.co.uk/news/_14/ Tue, 21 Sep 2010 13:27:15 GMT The May Day Bank Holiday might have been a bit of a washout, but the impulse to eat outdoors is on the up - surely brighter, warmer days are ahead We're wheeling out the barbecue and standing by. Before the current chill, the soil warmed up and the garden surged... http://www.lighthousebakery.co.uk/news/_13/ http://www.lighthousebakery.co.uk/news/_13/ Tue, 11 May 2010 15:13:28 GMT In industrialised and metropolitan contexts, the evolution of domestic cooking has given us self-contained gas, electric and microwave ovens, but in many parts of the world wood-fired ovens remain the norm. The so-called "black" oven is a masonry (or cob, or adobe) box that is heated by burning solid fuels.... http://www.lighthousebakery.co.uk/news/_12/ http://www.lighthousebakery.co.uk/news/_12/ Sun, 18 Apr 2010 13:23:32 GMT Half for you and half for me, Bewtween us two shall goodwill be If the Guardian's recent report is accurate, and the trend for this season's hen parties really is away from extravagant weekends abroad and towards more creative activities http://wwww.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2010/mar/o7/hen-parties-on-budget then we can imagine reprising a friend's jolly gathering.... http://www.lighthousebakery.co.uk/news/_11/ http://www.lighthousebakery.co.uk/news/_11/ Tue, 23 Mar 2010 16:13:37 GMT In the media it's all about gloom. The first Monday of February is the year's peak day for sick-leave, so they say. But in our book, February is the moment for an outbreak of optimism. The days really are longer, and soon the "weeds, in wheels" really will "shoot long... http://www.lighthousebakery.co.uk/news/_10/ http://www.lighthousebakery.co.uk/news/_10/ Mon, 08 Feb 2010 14:39:35 GMT Happy New Year to all and good wishes for a very healthy, peaceful and prosperous new year too. 2010 has got off to a rather interesting start courtesy of Mother Nature. For the first time in our baking lives we were unable to even get to the bakery to bake... http://www.lighthousebakery.co.uk/news/_9/ http://www.lighthousebakery.co.uk/news/_9/ Sun, 24 Jan 2010 13:17:59 GMT Midsummer is the time when caraway, or "Persian Cumin" (Carum Carvi is the Latin name) comes to gruition. This delicate, frondy biennial enjoys a warm, sunny location with well-drained soil. It is one of the many herbs we planted in a long, wall-hugging herb-bed in the kitchen garden we dug... http://www.lighthousebakery.co.uk/news/_8/ http://www.lighthousebakery.co.uk/news/_8/ Sun, 09 Aug 2009 12:18:27 GMT Now here's a thing, I was lucky enough to get a glut of jalapeño peppers in my organix vegetable plot at home. What to do with them? A sweet chilli sauce sprung to mind, as it is a house favourite, but my thoughts swiftly turned to uses at the bakery.... http://www.lighthousebakery.co.uk/news/_6/ http://www.lighthousebakery.co.uk/news/_6/ Mon, 26 Jan 2009 16:55:45 GMT Autumn in the East Sussex countryside was truly a wonder. October was glorious. The leaves on the trees surrounding the bakery have turned vivid yellow, golds and copper. Beautiful. And despite the fact that November was a bit of a murky wash-out, there were still moments of joy: One day,... http://www.lighthousebakery.co.uk/news/_5/ http://www.lighthousebakery.co.uk/news/_5/ Tue, 16 Dec 2008 11:17:19 GMT One thing I hadn't bargained on when we moved was how very cold it gets in the countryside. The bakery is exposed to open fields on two sides, and the size of the space (and the lack of heating other than the ovens) means that it takes a while for... http://www.lighthousebakery.co.uk/news/_4/ http://www.lighthousebakery.co.uk/news/_4/ Tue, 16 Dec 2008 10:52:11 GMT
