  I have recently moved house and moved in with a baking obsessive. The other weekend we made a three layered chocolate sponge with hand fired meringue! (I didn't know such a thing existed!)

  So I would love any baking recipes you have so we can attempt them at home- she only likes to bake sweets or cakes though (my poor teeth will be ruined!).
