We've caught the Bake Off bug at last. We can't deny it. We've even been thinking about how best to prepare our beard before we bake bread. (Which you can read about here.)
However, now we've decided that hours in the kitchen encasing cheese in dough plaits and building biscuit sculptures is how we want to spend our Autumnal weekends, we need to make sure we do it in style. So we asked our Shoreditch homeware friends Labour And Wait for their picks for the gentleman baker. All of which you can find in their unequivocally fantastic Redchurch Street store or on their website.
