Making youtube in your retirement is a wonderful way to make sure your experience doesn’t go to waste after you stop working.

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Thanks for watching my friend 😉 much appreciated.

[@ricobico1872]

How would it go to waste? Lol

[@hameedakhan9805]

Is your voice like the person who goes everywhere in world to show birds animals my husband loves to watch him I like his voice

[@Luckyse7en1980]

Also being retired due to health issues I find cooking and baking great therapy to stop me getting bored. Loved the tip about making your own caster and powdered sugar, not having a spice grinder (yet) I just used a pestle and mortar. Saved a few bob already

[@davidnicholson6901]

I have watched several videos on baking a Victoria sponge cake. This is the best- it is methodical with clear explanations of each step. I am English domiciled in Norway and I really like the Northern accent - confidence inspiring. I will be trying this recipe.

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

John, your videos and lessons are by far the best I’ve found anywhere. Easy to follow, informative and quite relaxed at the same time . Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us all ❤

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Glad you like them!

[@annmayes5802]

Well ! I've given up reading, watching t.v.,knitting etc etc. I just spend my evenings watching Mr Kirkwoods lovely you tube videos. They are beautifully presented and so easy to follow - no loud music or excitable dialogue. I shall work my way through the recipes. Thanks too for all the useful little tips.

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

[@jbblister]

John, I don’t know why this one only has a fraction of the views that your baguette video has. This is really tops. I’ve made this several times and it is my wife’s favorite of all. “The best cake ever.”

Another fantastic recipe thank you John I tried it today and put a filling of apple, blackcurrant jam and custard in it in 3 layers and it is absolutely delicious. It’s just like my Mum used to make when I was a young boy in the UK in Grimsby Lincolnshire where I was born. It’s so much better than cake bought in the shops the difference is unbelievable big thanks much appreciated!

[@joanhaughton3391]

In a word .... Yummm !!!! And there' s a proper cup of tea to go with the delicious cake....none of this anaemic, gnat's water brew ... but a good strong brew - full of flavour!! Perfect duo.

Success John - Thanks. Your hand made method brings back memories of my Mum making them in the 1950's/60's though not tried until now at 68. Especially impressed that you included the Americans in with their different terminology for powdered sugar, all purpose flour and degrees Fahrenheit too.

[@SandraDent-lf4xy]

Another lovely cake John. I'm not a chef but what I do when I'm adding the eggs is add a little bit of the flour at the same time so it doesn't curdle. I don't know whether this is the right thing to do it not, I think I read it somewhere

[@cutex24]

I love both the simple, easy to follow recipes and also the soothing, relaxing voice! 🙂

[@deenab6476]

Wow....that was brill ...what a trick with the sugar....been baking for years and didn’t know this ...your a star ⭐️

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

If you want the icing sugar to be the same as shop bought Deena, simply add a tsp of corn flour/starch before grinding it. Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the channels website, Victoria sponge profoodhomemade.com/victoria-sponge-cake/

[@zagonde]

You're so helpful with all the tips you give. I had no idea about granulated sugar becoming caster sugar becoming icing sugar. Some of us (most of us?), especially those of us who only occasionally cook and bake, or barely do it at all, don't know this stuff and so head off to the shops buying items that we think are different/separate. But it's not just this, it's all the little tips throughout all of your videos, which when I've followed your simple instructions and the tips have always seen me have a successful outcome. Now I gotta go buy me those sandwich tin things coz we ain't got them. I didn't know they were a thing until now.

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Thanks again for watching zagonde always a pleasure my friend, you are very kind, thank you. 😉👍😃

Me and our 12 year old daughter Inga have tried our hand at this cake. We added the sugar before seeing the part about making it fine, turns out ours is jam sugar! When it came time to do the "drop test" our batter stuck to the spoon like clay and we laughed so hard!!!! It's in the oven now and we'll give an update how it came out after our wee apple timer goes off!

​@@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade John, I have a question! Since I have an small oven, I only have space to bake one sponge cake at a time. Shall I keep the mix of the second sponge in the fridge, right? Does it affect it? Or do I have to do two mixes? Thanks a lot!

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Yeah, it'll be ok in the fridge my friend.

My favourite cake and it turned out gorgeous. Bought a spice grinder. Excellent John, thank you 😊

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@reb7940]

I made this cake today and it turned out delicious. The batter looked a bit too thick at the end so I melted and added around 20-30g butter which helped. Thanks for the recipe.

[@mitchellnews]

Good Afternoon Mr. Kirkwood -- I made the Victoria Sponge Cake and found the cake to be very dry so I went back over your video again and identified that I overbeat the batter (I think that was the problem). I will be making it again this evening to see if that was the problem, I like to "conquer" my cooking errors. The Chantilly Cream spread is extraordinary, thanks for the recipe. I dismantled the problem cake, cubed it into 1/2" cubes then I made a fresh batch of jam, while it was still hot, I tossed over the cubes and let it soak in to soften the cake cubes. I made a fresh batch of Chantilly Cream then using a Sundae glass, layered the Chantilly Cream and cake cubes intermittently till I topped off the Sundae glass then placed a fluted strawberry on the top; the family went bonkers over the dessert. I want to make the cake again properly so I can enjoy this classic English dessert. Thank you for all of your tips on homemaking such as Vanilla Extract, Butter, and several others; it is so easy and satisfying. I haven't built the courage for making cheese yet but will this coming month. Mr. Kirkwood, you are a blessing to all that enjoy your cooking instruction which you present in such a gentlemanly manner. I was born and raised in Florida, USA and have always cooked primarily Southern Cuisine, since watching your and others videos I am branching out to travel the world via my cooking. I, too, had several businesses and am retired but had gotten lazy, however, with your teaching I have been encouraged to get up and enjoy what I love doing most which is cooking. Thanks again!!! Mitchell

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Well done Mitchell, pleased you found my videos enjoyable and useful, it's been my pleasure to share the recipes I've acquired over the years, all the people I've taught over my career in my kitchens have gone on to become great cooks and chefs, including my son who took over the business, (and is doing very well with it) now I have enough time on my hands to pass on my knowledge to a wider community without the stress of running the business :) a failed sponge will always make a great base for trifles and other desserts, as we say in the north east of England "waste nowt" Thanks again for watching, PS don't give up on the Vic sponge you'll get it right in the end :)
