Prue Leith

They probably are, you know!
I often make Lemon and Polenta cake.

I agree. She didn't appear to be in the real world. I can certainly get normal flour easier than chestnut flour here in rural Cornwall. I thought her comments about YouTube bakers showed a bit of 'nose put out of joint'.

She also said it contained a ton of butter!!

She mentioned ground almonds too.

I think she is very refreshing.

There was hardly any flour of any description in my local Tesco at my last weekly shop except for the last packet of 'bread mix' flour.

The recipe is rather indulgent isn't it? My late MIL who came through the rationing and shortages of WWII would have been horrified at using six eggs all at once.

Corn Flour is the same thing, though finer. Also called "masa harina" in Spanish - used to make tortillas. I find mine in the "foreign" food section of my local Sainsbury's

I saw her looking glam and mentioning chestnut flour! Flippin heck, never heard of it. Tesco here haven't even got any eggs.
Like wise recipes for "store cupboard" meals in a few newspapers. All sorts of exotic ingredients which I can imagine only the most serious cooks may have hanging around.

Will coconut flour work? I have an unopened packet bought by a DD. It could be out of date.

Could she find me some eggs?
And my four lemons look a bit ropey

Nothing to do with baking but I love her use of colour ...

Callistemon, coconut flour is very tricky to use as you need a lot of hydration .

The results will be great with the right recipe but find one specific for coconut flour don’t just substitute for ordinary

Just looked on Tesco Website MawB.

No polenta or chestnut flour at all, so doubt if any will be in my smallish Tesco.

I have a friend with a gluten free son, she made some delicious gf muffins with chestnut flour, However it's very expensive,and probably only available in health food shops.

When I was in supermarket recently there was one bag of flour.

Unfortunately it was burst open and flour scattered across the shelf.

I wondered if there had been a tug of war with the last bag

Thanks Missfoodlove
I've been eyeing up the packet of coconut flour, thinking that if I'm desperate I may use it!

Rather like gf flour, then, it needs more liquid.

I wanted to nip in and straighten up the paintings on the wall behind her.

For tasty store cupboard meals with ordinary (and cheap) ingredients, you can't beat Jack Monroe. She has a book called "Tin Can Cook"

I like Prue Leith too, much prefer her to the overly sweet Mary Berry.
