The third and final place-getting recipe from last year’s office bake-off comes from Simon, one of our senior engineers. A real foodie; Simon has previously shared with us his Schiacciata con l’uva, a traditional autumn bread made in Tuscany. For the bake-off he made this incredible

Last week Sam shared with you his winning chocolate macaron recipe from last year’s Dunedin office bake-off. Today we bring you the second place getter, a beautiful, sweet braided bread made by Isabelle, one of our engineering team leaders.

What better way to start my first ever guest post off than with a recipe for children’s’ month. My mum used to make these delicious chicken goujons for my sister and I when we were small, and I adapted the recipe and made it my own whilst working in the kitchen of an alpine chalet in [...]
