... it also plays a role in adding colour,
texture, moisture and aeration. It’s

A GADGET WORTH INVESTING IN...
Ovens are prone to running at different
temperatures and it’s important to test yours
to ma ke sure you’re cook ing your ba kes
correctly. Good oven thermometers can be
purchased for around a fiver and we think it’s
worth every penny to know that the oven is
behav ing as it should, plus it’s easy to adjust
your oven temperature if necessary.Don’t switch
between using
metrical and
imperial in the
same recipe- always stick
to one measure
for accuracy.
Don’t scrimp
on salt!
If a recipe tells
you to add salt,
add it! It’s there
for a reason
and will make
the flavours in
your bake
‘pop’.ESSENTIALSJoseph Joseph 8 Nesting
