The way I look at things is someone needs to look at this thing (and cookbooks and the rest) honestly and not fall victim to smarmy marketing and smarmy companies.

In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and ground cardamom and then fold into the mixture.

Just because Jamie or any other muppet wanted to charge this amount, it doesn’t mean that you have to go and get it ! i'm not a big gadgety person; i always go back the using standard items and those gadgets get shoved away somewhere or discarded.

I sealed it correctly with the arrows but not tight enough to do that level of damage and shook it less violently that Jamie does on TV! Swedes normally grease the inside of the Bundt with butter and then dust it with dried breadcrumbs, but you can use baking spray (NOT cooking spray) if you prefer.

I don’t particularly blame him – the pressures are enormous and all he has to fight back against commercialism – which earns alot of other people alot of money – is his own mind.
