As a lover of baking I have been collecting recipes as part of the Baked & Delicious series for quite some time now and I figured what is the point of having all these recipes if I have never tried half of them? I might discover a new favourite bake, extra skills and please those who have the good fortune of getting to taste test for me! So as part of my Thirty Before Thirty project, an item on the list is to make every bake within the collection and to blog about it.
I have to confess the idea for this challenge came to me after seeing the movie 'Julie & Julia', starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams. The basic plot centers around Amy's character Julie, who decides to write a blog about cooking and commits herself to cool the 534 recipes written by Julia Child (Meryl Streep) in her book 'Mastering The Art of French Cooking' in one year.
I have by no stretch of the imagination the inclination to complete that particular challenge myself; I am not, nor will I ever, want to be deboning a duck! A great bake off challenge though is more up my street and it seemed like a productive use of existing materials.
The Baked & Delicious series is not quite finished however so far there have been more than 50 volumes, containing 464 recipes and counting (best estimate is a total of 630 recipes by the end). There are 425 days until my deadline, meaning approximately 1.5 bakes per day...easy right!
So as I bake my way through the recipes I will be writing a short blog about the success (hopefully) of the bake and how delicious it turned out. The latter is most likely to be tested on unsuspecting friends and family...volunteers welcome.
