OiR BAKING GROUP

The OiR Baking Group is an online community of bakers who try out recipes,  provide feedback and share photographs.  Members communicate with each other via email.

The aim of the Group is not to create cakes to rival the winners of the Great British Bake Off, nor to cook dishes to match those of Nigella, the Domestic Goddess! No, we just want to have a bit of fun in the kitchen and create something which is easy to make and tasty to eat.

Every two weeks, a new baking challenge is emailed to members.  Those who wish make up the recipe, sample it, give some feedback and take a photograph to submit for the Group’s webpage. 

The Group is open to all OiR members whether male or female, novice baker or experienced chef. We can all learn from each other and improve our skills.

Members are invited to share their favourite recipes – together with their stories of why these are favourites or why they were selected.

New members are always welcome, so if you are interested in joining this on-line community of bakers, please contact the OiR Office (office@oirayr.org.uk). 

I look forward to hearing from you!
