This year I recreated a Heston Blumenthal Christmas. It was quite an epic task https://t.co/Ig6KnqxMfm

[Gary @BigSpud]

@sueperkins I’m putting together a video revisiting Heston Blumenthal’s Christmas Feast from 2007 which you appeared in.
Would you be up for sharing a quick memory or thought about that experience? Just a line or two would be brilliant.
Thanks so much! 👀 https://t.co/hzD6r7kpXe

@NicolaS43468117 PS. Love the phrase "absolute doorknob" 🤣

My blog is 17 years old today. Since 2007 I've been writing about all sorts of rubbish rattling around my head, and there's still room for more! Thanks for reading.

@NicolaS43468117 Hiya! I do block / remove many, many comments and commenters every day. It helps _a lot_ to have a thick skin and frankly, not care about people's opinions who I don't know but are just being insulting. I love engaging with people in the comments who want a constructive chat.

@wembleystadium @AEW Can we get the brilliant white lights turned off? Making the poor view even worse as you can't see the screens

@EthanChleb hey, just wanted to say your videos have been a big inspiration to starting my own channel. I made a UK-centric version of your egg comparison video, would love to know your thoughts https://t.co/wGwgsDKkSf

@BakeEurope Lovely to see a bit of Wilkin and Sons AKA Tiptree jam, which is made in my county but found on breakfast tables all over the world 😊

Last year, I made my own Twelfth Night Cake.

This is an old Epiphany tradition from the British Isles 🇬🇧 that isn't common today.

It's a large fruitcake, covered in marzipan, and then royal icing or, in my case, homemade fondant.

It was popular to play games around it!
