customer comments

“The Cake Mixes are great, and even my mother,who has been making cakes for over 50 years says that they are as good - well almost - as the ones she makes! My breadmaker does not have a cake programme, but I find that all the mixes cook well on the machine's jam programme, which gives them 15 minutes mixing followed by 50 minutes baking. As the bread pan has quite a large area, it produces a cake which is rather broad and flat - this doesn't affect the taste or texture, but it does make the cake a bit prone to split as it comes out of the tin. A couple of early examples ended up as (very tasty) trifles as a result! I have found that the way to cure this is to reach inside the breadmaker just at the end of the mixing and deftly remove the paddle. This not only results in a cake which is far easier to remove from the tin, but as the rich mixture inevitably sticks to the paddle, it means that we can re-live the great moment of my mother's cake making - licking the mixing spoon afterwards! Secondly, your Naan bread mixes. Although the packet is not flashed as suitable for bread machines and instructions refer to cooking them under the grill, they do produce a very pleasant garlic and coriander flavoured loaf if cooked in a bread machine on the rapid programme for white bread. While the crust hasn't quite got the authentic grilled texture, even my wife, who is generally quite critical of my breadmaking efforts, admits that the result is not bad! I hope these are of some use to you. Keep up the good work, Deb, especially over the question of salt in bread. Anybody who gives up bread just because of its salt content will lose out on far more goodness than they gain. If they're worried about salt, they should look at the amount in processed food! ” Jeremy Bowles
