My local newspaper, The Sunderland Echo, have featured me today making stotty bread at home. If you can get your hands on flour and yeast and want to give it a go, the recipe is here on my blog . You can read the full feature in the paper here. __ Glenda Young Author of historical novels with Headline Twitter: @Flaming_Nora Facebook: GlendaYoungAuthor

Relatives visiting from up north have brought with them necessities for this Mackem down in London. First off are a few copies of The Sunderland Echo , essential reading, but better than that are a couple of stotty cakes from Greggs the Bakers. Pure delight. I've already got them in my lunchbox and they could just turn out to be the best thing about today. Just in case you don't know what a stotty cake is, and you'd like to know, you can find out more here.
