goodtoknow’s new baking blog

Mum Anneliese Giggins learnt how to bake by baking her way through Mary Berry’s Baking Bible on the wonderful blog Rising to the Berry. Keen to continue her love of baking, Anneliese will be sharing a delicious new baking recipe with us each month – bake along and share all your tips, advice and of course pics!

After spending 18 months baking my way through the wonderful recipes from Mary Berry’s Baking Bible, I have opened my mind to other possibilities and ideas. Nothing too crazy, you understand! I wanted to begin this blog with a nice, simple, but most importantly, tasty cake. I think most of us start baking with a classic sandwich cake, so I hope this is a good place to take a first step. I’m not sure I know of anyone who doesn’t enjoy a slice of lemon drizzle, so why not make it even more tempting by filling it with a luscious lemon curd and mascarpone filling?!

Get Anneliese’s lemon drizzle cake recipe

For me, a sandwich cake summons up an array of childhood memories. I must have made such a cake for almost every family occasion. It was either a vanilla sponge filled with strawberry jam or a chocolate version filled with a generous helping of rich chocolate butter cream. I never imagined I could venture into different flavour combinations; I stayed well within my comfort zone!

I really hope you enjoy this recipe and that you feel the urge to give it a try. Good luck!

Anneliese’s top baking tip

My top tip this month is to read through the whole recipe before making a start. It is so frustrating to get halfway through a recipe only to find that you don’t have all the ingredients in stock or that the dried fruit needs to soak in a brandy bath overnight. I know this from experience!!

Chocolate is a help against coughing. Doctor's word – Italian Cuisine

According to one of the leading experts in respiratory medicine, Alyn Morice, its viscosity forms a coating that protects the nerve endings of the throat, which trigger the need to cough. Several scientific studies prove it

Against cough, instead of antibiotics, better a little honey or some herbal remedy: he advised him nothing less than the rigorous English National Health Service. According to the new guidelines, in most patients, acute cough will improve within three weeks without the need for any medicine. And antibiotics should be reserved for cases that do not resolve or for patients at risk of complications.

Chocolate vs cough

"I know it might seem like a solution to Mary Poppins," he explains, "but as a doctor and an independent researcher who has spent years investigating the mechanisms of cough, I can assure you that the evidence to support this hypothesis is solid like a fruit and hazelnut bar ".

But now one of the greatest experts in cough and respiratory medicine, Alyn Morice of the University of Hull, founding member of the International Society for the Study of Cough, suggests another remedy, even greener: chocolate.

Scientific evidence

To achieve this result, Morice, with the Hull Cough Clinic team, coordinated a study on 300 patients from 13 British hospitals, who were given capsules with theobromine, an alkaloid contained in cocoa and cola seeds, with diuretic and vasodilating properties. In 60% of cases, the symptoms have improved (to then reappear, however, at the end of the administrations).

Even before this research, two others had been conducted: the ROCOCO, a survey of 163 volunteers, which showed that a new medicine containing cocoa is more effective than a standard syrup, and one study of the Imperial College of London on the effects of theobromine, which is more effective than codeine, which is routinely used in cough medicines.

But that's not all: chocolate is more viscous than normal cough medications it forms a coating that protects the nerve endings of the throat that trigger the need to cough. This is the same soothing effect, "inhibitory on nerve endings", which explains why honey, lemon and other sugary syrups can be useful.

Sucking a piece of chocolate should give a little 'relief in case of cough but, as reported by Morice, not even in liquid form enough to solve the problem: It is necessary to develop a cocoa-based drug for effective help. This is because "hot chocolate will not have the same effect as cocoa does not stay in contact with the throat long enough to form a protective coating".
