I suspect Chetna sees cooking with golden syrup about the same way Mary sees shop-bought fondant, but was far too polite to say so. Hence the giggles.

Martha is a wunderkind. Chetna is the Danny of the group. I am still hoping Diana and Kate will hang in there for awhile. Norman should be considered a National Treasure.<br /><br /> I think bread week will sort out who is a consistent baker from those who are more of a B student.
