Did you see The Great British Bake Off last night, it was week three of the competition and the six remaining bakers were making bread in Kent. If they found cakes and biscuits challenging, it’s bread that’s considered the real test of a baker’s mettle!

Under the watchful eye of baking writer Mary Berry and master baker Paul Hollywood, Mel and Sue enjoyed a cuppa in T&G’s Spot On mugs whilst they deliberated on who produced the perfect loaf!

Also used were our Tuscany medium rectangular chopping board in acacia!
