With my tongue firmly in cheek, a soupcon of self-parody and a sprinkling of Freshwater Fairy-dust I thought we'd celebrate our half-birthday at Mrs Middleton's Shop with a recipe...
Book-Shop Bread.
Difficulty level- Risky
Ingredients;
Dough- Very little indeed
Fermentation- Brew until the time is right
Oil- For pouring on troubled water
Water- enough not to dampen spirit
A pinch of Magic-Dust (essential)
Method- Or how we made ours
(On account of there being hardly any dough- the kneading will necessitate an artisanal approach)
1. Find a suitable building in which to create the Book-Shop bread.
(Ours was- let's say- 'untouched' for quite some time.)
2. Take all of your wits, a paintbrush, hammer and application, and smooth over any rough edges. Discover Victorian fireplace. Replace a few joists, and floorboards and deal with the fungus that's rotting the building.
3. Fill shop with bookshelves and furnishings accquired from local Charity shops.
4. Deploy books lavishly
Now, as the consistency begins to take shape, use artisan skills to arrange product in an appealing manner.
Sprinkle with magic dust, and wait for the dough to rise.
Manna from heaven Em, loving my bookshop bread!
See you soonest,
Your ever-loving Grandmother,

Yummy gingerbread bookshop.
