Baking on a rainy day

The weather hasn't been great for heading outdoors recently so I had a bake off which gave me plenty to photograph. The best part was tucking in to it all once the shoot was over.

The best accompaniment for bread; bacon.

Hmmmm

The bread recipes have all come from Paul Hollywood's 'Bread' book.

Stilton and Bacon Rolls

Celery Soup with the Bacon and Stilton Rolls

Stout Bread

Smoked Salmon Pâté (from the Connemara smokehouse) with the Stout Loaf.

The recipe for the cake came from the Great British Bake Off 'Showstoppers' book. Thanks to Samantha for her culinary skills with the cake, soup and salmon pâté. 

Mary Berry's Fraisier Cake

Fancy a slice?

Having seen a few shooting stars over the last week I have found out that there will be a substantial meteor shower (Perseids Meteor Shower) over the next few days and I'm hoping that there will be sufficiently clear skies to capture some nice starlight shots.

I've been reading up on the different hints and tips to get the best from the night sky and the best I found is:- http://www.davemorrowphotography.com/p/tutorial-shooting-night-sky.html

You can read an article on the meteor showers on the Independent's website:-
