Butcher Baker Candlestick Maker

I have written before in my blog about the varied and interesting guests we get at Celyn Villa. This week we had a chap who stayed with us who was a baker. My husband Les is very proud of his daily bread that he makes and was somewhat nervous before breakfast knowing that the ‘I’ve been a baker for over 20 years’ was going to try his ‘homemade toasted bread’.

Admittedly the bread is made in a bread maker, but having had many trials and errors at first the ‘secret’’ mix that is used produces a really good loaf. I would urge all of you that have bought a bread maker and keep in a cupboard somewhere forlorn and forgotten to persevere with it because the end product when you get it right is delicious. Les occasionally makes a ‘real handmade’ loaf for our own consumption but it would be difficult to keep up with the requirements of our guests with traditional methods.

Having delivered the toast to the table the verdict was a resounding thumb up. What a nice chap he was. We didn’t really need him to tell us it was good as it is always complimented on – but an endorsement from a professional is always gratifying.
