Oh the Michel Oliver books! My French/Belgian mum has these and I loved them as a child - particularly the patisserie one. And we did cook from them, the recipes work! Flicking through them now. Claire (from Claire and Rebecca of The Trowel, a beauty/life Substack I think you would like ) xx

How lovely that you're familiar with them! I didn't have the baking one for some reason. Yes, the recipes totally work. And am subscribing to you right now.
