The old ones are the best!

That certainly seems to be true about our latest video… we uploaded Rock Cakes on Monday with the associated paperwork. Perhaps I should clarify…it is hubby who does all the tech stuff from filming and editing to typing the recipes and updating the website, so I can’t claim any credit for all that. However, I had found my old recipe books from secondary school in Wellingborough and the centre page of one of the books fell out. It was the page with the Rock Cake recipe we’d used in September 1969. Serendipity perhaps? Anyway I decided to try it out again and felt it needed to have a couple of tweaks, like adding lemon zest to lift the flavour. We filmed it with the improved recipe and after a few days it went “live”. Some videos get small numbers of views, like the Stuffed Peppers and Mincemeat, but this one climbed rapidly from Monday and now has been watched nearly two hundred times. Not quite the giddy heights of Leek and Potato soup, mind you. I put the popularity of that one down to post-Christmas economic struggles and just the simplicity of it. So I’ve been going back to my trusty old exercise book to see what else might tickle your palates ! 😉 x
