I love the way we move between eras. It’s like time travelling without the suspension of disbelief. Longing to know where (when) we’ll go next (though I have a clue from Sophia’s recent travels)

What a treat to hear this from an author whose own prose is knife-sharp. Thank you, Orlando!

Thrilled to see someone so keen on #KnifeSkillsForBeginners that they start reading before they even get out of the shop. Canadian edition spotted at Hager Books in Kerrisdale in Vancouver (fab bookshop, by all accounts)

No one's prose sparkles more than SJ Bennett's and #ADeathInDiamonds is a treat from first to last. I've told everyone about the Her Majesty the Queen Investigates series and I think this is my favourite. I salute you, Sophia Bonnier Books UK

Donna - I’m proud to be in such sparkling company

Great stuff, Andrew, and good call on the hazelnuts. I've been known to add toasted pecans, and discovered (by accident) that if you toast them till really dark - almost but not quite burnt - the flavour is marvellous.
Glad to see those baguettes too. Happy baking.

Fantastic idea

Great book

If you're looking for something to read over the weekend...

Have you discovered Tim Tams?

Maxim’s guilt pleasure is Licky Lix - has Sabrina tried those? (He’s also partial to a Dreamie, natch)

Catch me being grilled at Brighton Crime Wave! (sounds painful...!)

Maxim says: Félicitations!
