BreadBasic White Tin BreadStraightforward sandwich loaf with our usual tweaks. Tin size still matters, as the video proved.
MainPressure Cooker Pulled PorkOur pressure-cooker take on BBC Good Food’s pulled pork — high pressure, then a proper sticky glaze from the pot liquor.
BreakfastEasy Honey GranolaStir, bake, cool, done. This is our easy weekly granola base with room to swap whatever is in the cupboard.
BreadDairy-Free Brioche Burger BunsEnriched dairy-free brioche buns for proper homemade burgers. Long prove, worth it.
What gets filmed
Garden
Beds, borders, chickens, compost. The everyday stuff that keeps the place alive, not a makeover reveal.
Kitchen & fire
Cooking inside, fire outside, still getting the hang of flint and steel. Food counts as part of the build, not a separate show.
Making & rooms
Woodwork, paint, layout tweaks. Side quests, mostly. The outdoor kitchen is the thing we’re actually heading for.
