Allyson Gofton: The Baker's Companion

From Sunday Morning, 11:52 am on 19 April 2020

Beloved food writer Allyson Gofton and her family are currently hunkered down in the town of Cambridge, in a property her teenage son has jokingly dubbed the 'Drug Baron's Mansion'.

Prior to the lockdown they were planning an eclectic Cuban country style makeover for their new home, but the project has been put on hold, and - like many New Zealanders - Allyson has been baking a lot.

She shares with us two recipes from her "latest and probably last book" - The Baker's Companion.

Here are her recipes for Lemon-Spiced Boston Bun and One-Rise Seed Bread.
