Welcome to Shackbaggerly, the podcast from good friends, Katie Johnson and Howard Middleton, who you may recognise from series 4 of the Great British Bake Off, although according to AI (which you’ll hear about if you stay tuned), Howard had company!

This episode, we’ll chat as always about old recipe books, including one from the 1930s. There was very nearly a new hobby taken up, but you have to be able to ‘get up’ first, and you’re never too old to play Hopscotch.

Happy New Year and welcome to the first episode of Shackbaggerly for 2026, and it’s a cold one here in the UK, so to keep warm, we revisit the Nun’s Cookbook, and discover an old name for Rhubarb. Speaking of old, there was a patent given back in 1791, with a method on how to keep eggs for longer than we would probably want to (and indeed should), and have you ever heard of a talking candle?

Thank you for your lovely messages over the Christmas period, including kind words regards the song. We love hearing from you on our Facebook and Instagram pages, just look for Shackbaggerly. Sadly our email is still down at the moment, but fingers crossed for news soon.

Until the next time,

Katie & Howard x

See you again Friday 23 January
