Getting back into the kitchen -- sponge cake, baguettes and tomato soup

@tony_cave

Thankyou Tony, I’m in the third year since my “stroke adventure”.

I get a great deal of pleasure from cooking in our kitchen. I used to do a lot more before the stroke, but it slowed me down considerably. I’m no professional but am very interested in an amateur sort of way. I am trying to build up confidence and speed again. Maybe one day. My first post stroke bake was a batch of fruit scones. It took me ages to mix the ingredients. I tend to use a stand mixer these days.

This will be my next project, done since stroke on past occasions:

It makes a very tasty baguette. I’ll post a recipe and pictures when they are done.

In addition, the Stroke Association produced a number of videos about cooking post stroke that I have found useful. I have been housebound and doing stuff in the kitchen has kept me active.

Here’s a link for the Ingredients and instructions for the baguettes plus a bonus recipe for easy tomato soup:

keep on keepin’ on
