Finally a way to get rid of the so-called Spice Coke

Saved By Cake: Over 80 Ways to Bake Yourself Happy by Marian Keyes

February 9, 2025 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I don’t think I’ve ever read a cookbook written by a novelist; I’ve read novels that have recipes in them, but that’s a different thing. I’ve only read 1 novel by Marian Keyes; I was visiting my mom who lived in Ireland at the time, I was bored, and I pulled a book off one of here shelves. It was Last Chance Saloon by Marian Keyes, and I remember it being basically a group of friends navigating modern life with a strong dose of romance. […]

This section is basically repeating the recipe “2-ish cups […]

The Great British Baking Show Favorite Flavors by Paul Hollywood, Prue Leith, 2022 bakers

November 24, 2022 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

So the Great British Bake Off aka Great British Baking Show books have been kind of hit or miss; more miss lately, but thankfully, in spite of some unfortunate decisions during the actual series, the book is back to what it should be: cool bakes that are actually achievable and useful to an average home baker. The Great British Baking Show: Favorite Flavors has a lot of things I think I both can and actually want to try. Before I get into the good stuff, […]
