Her fifth book follows a familiar style of beautiful infographics, contemporary step-by-step guides and adventurous recipes. Why I love it This beautiful little book takes the mystery out of those fancy baking terms, arming you with the confidence to attack seemingly complicated processes like crafting ganache and tempering chocolate. By the end you’ll know your rock glaze from your diplomat cream and feel like a master chocolatier in your own kitchen. What to try Start simple with shortbread cookies with chocolate chips and walnuts (Melanie suggests swapping walnuts for macadamia) before getting adventurous with the chocolate puff pastry millefeuilles filled with layers of creamy ganache. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611124ec7b1e2e7b754c7c4f/1745239670244-944UP9SN84JQUJ9YQOWK/IMG_2684.jpeg Blog - My springtime foodie edit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611124ec7b1e2e7b754c7c4f/1745239670057-6UKKM09QS2TN7HNLN0HA/IMG_2680.jpeg Blog - My springtime foodie edit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611124ec7b1e2e7b754c7c4f/87892d8b-4452-40d7-8f9a-b3e901384a62/IMG_3258.jpeg Blog - My springtime foodie edit - Three of the best pistachio treats The pistachio chocolate from Hotel Chocolat https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611124ec7b1e2e7b754c7c4f/fe28dce9-e209-4eed-9bfd-6ed88d0a0035/Ping+Coombes+web-jar_V2.jpg Blog - My springtime foodie edit - Hooray for Malay! BBC Masterchef Champion 2014 Ping Coombes and husband Andrew launched “Ping At Home” during the Covid lockdown to bring the bold, aromatic flavours of Malaysia to homes in and around Bath. As well as the small weekly, changing menu of freshly cooked, chilled Malaysian dishes which can be heated at home, Ping has also created a number of jars and oils available to buy online. Her new Tomato and Ginger Sambal Ketchup provides a gentle heat and depth of flavour to bring a rich Malaysian twist to any dish. Try it in your next bacon sandwich, with cheese on toast or as a dip for chips or dumplings. It’s exclusively available on DELLI (£8.50). https://notesfromacountrygirl.com/blog/r6e3cra6jb6ssn1vvhm1p4ay8bsz3a monthly 0.5 2025-04-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611124ec7b1e2e7b754c7c4f/67bf8185-a510-4abb-a4d1-b74f16bc87f9/IMG_2994.jpeg Blog - My top three favourite bakeries - Cook’s view “It’s seeing a flavour that could be fun and being like: how can we incorporate that into a cookie with our fun ingredients?” Kayleigh Dreyer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611124ec7b1e2e7b754c7c4f/44894177-be66-4da0-bb1a-030c9c0a4a30/IMG_2710.jpeg Blog - My top three favourite bakeries - Cook’s tip “If you’re making puff pastry or croissants, a good tip is to have butter the same temperature as the dough and rest the dough in between working it.

Discovering Provence in the heart of Somerset - Judith’s Tips for Growing Lavender Free draining soil is essential - it does not like bark or water retention • Preparation is key - you need a good clean flower bed to start with • Plant on a mound or add grit to soil so it drains well • Mix one third grit with two thirds compost in a flowerbed or pot • Avoid the shade - lavender loves the sun • When growing a less hardy variety like a stoechas, grow in a sheltered area, in a pot or fleece it over the winter • Prune the plant as soon as the flowers go over. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611124ec7b1e2e7b754c7c4f/1629495375078-R81BJ87N7V7NSBRD0VSH/IMG_7212.jpg Blog -

Welcome! As a freelance writer, I’m inspired by the people, foodie businesses and beautiful homes and gardens that make up the British countryside. I’m lucky enough to write about the topics I love in both national and regional magazines and papers. My Notes From A Country Girl blog is a way of recording some of my experiences out and about. In it, you’ll find suggestions for country walks, places to visit around Bath, my favourite foodie destinations and weekend trips a little further away. Please take a look around and get in contact if you would like to work together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611124ec7b1e2e7b754c7c4f/4179b193-95f7-4582-b8f5-c698f0b993a0/southwold-british-seaside-review-5.jpg Home By The Sea https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611124ec7b1e2e7b754c7c4f/1628612653614-M5MFVJLCI6ZU9M941TGG/unsplash-image-dieveHGfAgU.jpg Home Things To Do Around Bath https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611124ec7b1e2e7b754c7c4f/1cf44626-ceb1-4612-b055-bd8e4778ed8f/8410+crop+by+Pete+Helme+Photography.jpg Home Country Girl's Picks https://notesfromacountrygirl.com/explore-all-posts daily 0.75 2021-08-12 https://notesfromacountrygirl.com/about daily 0.75 2025-04-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611124ec7b1e2e7b754c7c4f/1628682162593-WVO4BHUF2ZQP4KOYU43R/aly-balsom-countryside-lifestyle-farming-writer-1.jpg About - I’m an award-winning freelance food & farming writer and editor with over 15 years’ experience writing for national magazines and papers. I live in the beautiful Cotswolds just outside Bath, surrounded by rolling hills, the river Avon and the Kennet and Avon Canal. It’s a spot I love to explore with my black Labrador, Agnes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611124ec7b1e2e7b754c7c4f/1628683540265-EIXXQ65GGKLXVI96OQP5/aly-balsom-country-lifestyle-writer.jpg About I started my writing career as Deputy Livestock Editor at Farmers Weekly magazine. After several years in London, I was drawn back to the countryside, choosing to settle in Bradford on Avon on the outskirts of Bath. It was here that I launched my freelance career specialising in food, farming and rural living. I spend my time travelling the British countryside writing about the characters and businesses at its heart. I’m a big foodie, with a love of cottage gardens, interior design and rural life. You can find out more about my career and read some of my articles here https://notesfromacountrygirl.com/work-with-me daily 0.75 2025-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611124ec7b1e2e7b754c7c4f/1628679369853-SMH5NP0VCR71UEMCVM51/freelance-countryside-lifestyle-writer Work With Me - I’m inspired by the people, farming businesses and beautiful homes and gardens that make up the British countryside. I’ve been lucky enough to interview and write about many interesting characters who share a similar passion for rural life. My work has taken me all around Britain and across the globe, and allowed me to meet an array of people, from dairy farmers in Devon and gauchos in Argentina to film directors, gardeners, restauranteurs and chefs. I can write to a wide range of briefs, from food and lifestyle pieces for consumer magazines to technical farming articles for the agricultural press. I can also manage editorial projects, edit material and offer PR support for agricultural businesses. If you’d like to work with me, please drop me a message. I’d love to hear from you. https://notesfromacountrygirl.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-08-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611124ec7b1e2e7b754c7c4f/1628684033097-5XSL1PVZYG1S9I0MYY2Z/rural-living-writer-freelance-1+1.jpg Contact - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://notesfromacountrygirl.com/rural-country-lifestyle-freelance-writer daily 0.75 2025-04-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611124ec7b1e2e7b754c7c4f/bf4898c3-d65e-4d68-9589-78d5b4cab8ad/Screenshot+2025-04-20+at+19.58.54.png Lifestyle & Rural Living Masterchef champions go rural Connected https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611124ec7b1e2e7b754c7c4f/1628681662772-L2UANSLXPKYV534O3KLA/Screenshot%2B2021-08-11%2Bat%2B12.23.13.jpg Lifestyle & Rural Living Opera at Belcombe Court Wiltshire Life https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611124ec7b1e2e7b754c7c4f/1628765450871-L7CQKQTVLD2WPNBYHP22/unsplash-image-IFGVE61AAno.jpg Lifestyle & Rural Living Producing Sexy Veg Farmers Guardian https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611124ec7b1e2e7b754c7c4f/fbf27ad8-e2f2-4fec-9039-29ae0461f1df/Screenshot+2021-08-12+at+11.52.20.png Lifestyle & Rural Living Gardens of Bradford on Avon Wiltshire Life https://notesfromacountrygirl.com/farming-freelance-writer daily 0.75 2021-08-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611124ec7b1e2e7b754c7c4f/1db7b5a8-2d47-4246-bd12-aa2f110ea1f6/Screenshot+2025-04-20+at+20.06.52.png Farming Flexible grazing with robot milking Lely Center Yeovil https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611124ec7b1e2e7b754c7c4f/4adf0421-9461-40ae-ae00-247321ec18ee/IMG_8377.jpeg Farming Benefits of magnesium for suckler cows Farmers Weekly https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611124ec7b1e2e7b754c7c4f/07a16b95-1b0f-4e5b-98de-0dbb9d4cac09/IMG_7207.jpeg Farming Water treatment tech cuts dairy slurry storage Farmers Weekly https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611124ec7b1e2e7b754c7c4f/3b2ca34e-704a-4fbe-92cb-91d9d3f78043/IMG_7725.jpeg Farming Achieving dairy sustainability PR for Mole Valley Farmers
