Well I've just tasted one...edible, but not exactly orgasmilicious. A bit disappointing TBH. :(


I might well pass them off as the East Dulwich Deli's!


Hopefully next time will be better. But thanks again, everyone. I couldn't have asked for a speedier response. I love this Forum.

Well, I think I might have been overly critical about the brownies earlier as I have just returned from the celebrations with an empty platter! Certainly the cocoa levels were spot on! So thanks to all of you who assisted during a moment of panic. xx

The Cinnamon Tree ones from Borough Market are good, as mentioned above. I did mention them on the best brownie thread in ED a while back.


Some I am meaning to try are in West Dulwich at the Bakery on the corner opposite Tesco. They look fantastic and are made with Valhrona chocolate. They are gluten free as well in case anyone needs to know.

Hmmm, I just don't like fruit in brownies. Fruitcake, yes. Carrot cake, yes. Stuff like that.


Green and Black's is good to cook with though......


Lady M, you need to get yourself a Tala Dry Measuring Cup. They are available on Amazon. I have three of them. Invaluable.


Does your scale not do ounces?

Fair enough...it was my first attempt...and I wanted to make the recipe my own for a special occasion...but I shall skip the cherry choc next time around and see how that compares.

I'll check them out ...might save another panic LOL! Thanks.

It does, but the markings are in "quarters" (so cannot gauge e.g. one ounce). I probably need some new scales - I've had these about 33 years. Hmmm, you've given me food for thought.

All of this cooking has inspired me


Not enough to make breakfast though, as I hauled mine and Mr VBC's ass out of bed to head down to Dulwich Cafe for a dirty brekky. Now back at home and back in my dressing gown.


But I am now thinking of cooking something nice for myself instead of dressing up and going out. I bought some fancy wild mixed chanterelles from the Borough Market... any suggestions?

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
