Blokes Who Bake
Steve Joll set up Blokes Who Bake “so blokes could get recipes, share recipes and bake like there’s no tomorrow, (my paraphrase) safe in the knowledge that other Blokes are baking too.”
“Life’s a Breeze for Steve, he’s a graduate of the New Zealand Broadcasting School. For many years now Wellington listeners have been hearing him on Wellington’s Easy Listening Breakfast Show on Breeze 94-98FM.
He co–hosts the Breakfast Show and also features on TVNZ’s Breakfast programme as the resident male chef. The Breeze is a group of New Zealand easy-listening radio stations owned by RadioWorks, a MediaWorks New Zealand company.
Wellington is the home of the very first The Breeze radio station under the Easy Listening format. The history of this station dates back to the 1970’s as Radio Windy and later Windy FM when the station switched to FM.
Radio Windy changed formats several times from Easy Listening to Adult Contemporary to Classic Rock before changing back to Easy Listening when the station became ‘The Breeze’ in 1993.
The format of The Breeze in Wellington was then rolled out to other stations in 2003 and 2004, however The Breeze in Wellington has never been networked to any other station.
The Breeze in Wellington was local 24 hours a day, 7 days a week but recently the Night show was replaced with the Auckland based night show.”
My favorite in Steve’s little book? His Tan Square recipe. It registers a ‘There’s a Heaven’ rating in my books. I suggest you DO NOT look in this wee online recipe book if you don’t want to eat morish morsels. Why? Because there are just way too many for me to be shoo-ing you away from!
