ADDENDUM from Naomi & Melanie

Oops! Something was bound to happen in our very first issue. There is a step missing in the Barmbrack recipe on page 34. In between steps 3 and 4, please include the following:

“Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and break in the egg. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix the egg with the dry ingredients. Add a little bit of the liquid the fruit mix is sitting in and mix it through. You may not need all the liquid – you are looking for a wet dough. Then stir through the fruit mix until everything is thoroughly combined.”

What a beautiful journal you made! All about this project really warms my heart.

I will have to get used to the different season you enjoy from us in Germany - now I want strawberries so bad! But its refreshing, too.

I love how the layout/design is minimalistic but still full of detail. Good aesthetic! So often our eyes get overloaded; reading this made me feel calm and uplifted.

Thank you so much for DOING this. Its much appreciated and hopefully you feel rewarded on many levels as well!

Mariana thank you so much. What a kind and generous-spirited comment to read. You've made our days! (We'd send you some strawberries in the mail if only we could). Naomi xx

Great work Melanie & Naomi and looking forward to your project evolving over the coming months. Just a small observation......my older eyes found the print quite faint on email & still faint on the downladable. Love the artwork throughout & new recipes to try.

Thank you for letting us know Angela. We can definitely look into darkening the print for you next time. x
