I'm currently working on a new yeast-free savoury quick bread recipe with a bit of an unusual twist, an amazing cookie butter mug cake, which is ready and just needs photographing, and a yummy taco recipe that we've ended up eating for dinner the last 3 nights in a row!

This weird little spatula is fantastic! It's got a bendy (but not too bendy) small spoonula (hope that's not a term only I use! 🀭) on one end, and a really firm, flat, scraper/stiff stirrer on the other end. I love it so much, I got a second for when the first is in the dishwasher!

I use it all the time for stirring my sourdough starter, stirring the oil into peanut butter, scraping out my blender jar and food processor, scraping down my food mixer bowl, getting every last bit of food out of jars, and for spreading things.

P.S. If you're looking to buy a muffin pan to make these, this is my favourite.
