Roll with it

I have a theory that if you bake, you will never be lonely. And that goes double if you don an apron and oven gloves and whip up the kinds of sweets that our moms and grandmothers used to make.

People are always happy to see you when you turn up with a tray of cookies or fat slices of cake covered in swirls of sticky icing. The plumber shows up on time. The butcher starts giving you wholesale prices. Old grudges are quickly abandoned.

These are some of my favourite things to make for the people that I love, when I need to get out of the doghouse, or when I need a good bargaining tool. Enjoy - and make the world your oyster.
