Course: Hangout & Capture with Baz Course by Sorted Food (presented by Barry) Course objectives Following the trend of course and book reviews, here's another one, but something a little different. While not primarily a cooking course, this program focuses on food photography, which sounded intriguing and quite useful, especially when setting up a new food-themed blog. I discovered this course through the Sorted Food Youtube channel's newsletter, which I'd recommend signing up for. The timing was very fortuitous, knowing that I would need to hone my photography skills with food as the subject.

Pizza, simply homemade with quality You'll never want to buy out again! It takes less time to make great pizza than you might think. Pizza, the world's favourite food, my favourite food. Somehow a slice of bread coated in tomato and other toppings has become a worldwide sensation. I’ve been asked that question before, “If you could only one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?” And my answer is pizza. Although simple, the wealth of combinations makes for a potentially constantly changing dish. I've got a few favourites, my favourites being Tarragon and Mushroom, and Napoli, which I first tried in Zurich, Switzerland. You're here to learn how to make pizza, and luckily, it's quite easy. You might be questioning to yourself why you've paid so much money for pizza whilst you're out, I mean if it's easy why am I paying so much? The simple reason is convenience, the method is simple, the ingredients are generally cheap, the only thing tha...

National Geographic Traveller Food Festival 2023 I attended the National Geographic Traveller Food Festival 2023, and I'd like to share the experience with you. The Festival As the name suggests, the festival is a celebration of global cuisines all brought together under a single roof. Predominantly, the venue hosts exhibitors from around the world featuring aspects of their home foods, some with produce to sell, and others offering a taste of street food. There are a handful of theatres with many sessions throughout the day, providing an overview of what each exhibitor has to offer. Some of the talks teach recipes, while others aim to educate the audience about the food and drinks from their respective regions. I spent most of my time in these theatres, but I also took a few strolls around. Be prepared for large crowds; it can get quite busy! Many years ago, I regularly attended the BBC Good Festival at Olympia, this had a similar vibe, but in a much smaller venue, and a p...

Bakehouse News: August 2023 Another segment I’m looking forward to developing is the Foodie News, we’re going to take a stroll over the previous month and highlight a few stories that I’ve come across relating to this site and food; this site is a home for people who enjoy their food, not politics, so there will be a wide birth from that where possible. Ommni’s Bakehouse goes live! Arguably the most important story off the month is that this blog went live! This would’ve been a July thing if it weren’t for a bit of medical hijinks, but we got there. First its first evolution this will be a mix of takes primarily on baking, but with a spin on food in general, you don’t only have to bake bread. Current plans are a four-week cycle of events, recipes, book or course reviews, and news. As I said this a plan, subject to change, but this feels like reasonable amount of content to crack on with in conjunction with the drudgery of a working life. A profile page will be coming shortly, f...
