If you find yourself overwhelmed with an abundance of chocolate each year, unsure how to tackle the sweet mountain, why not consider some post-Easter baking?
It's not only a fun activity but also a rewarding one, and if you have children who can join in, it's a fun activity for them to do.
For those with a penchant for something rich and indulgent, Rebs from Great British Bake Off 2022 has come to the rescue with a tempting recipe.
She showcased her own batch of brownies, brimming with a vibrant mix of leftover Easter egg chocolates, in various colours, shapes, and textures.
Rebs encouraged budding bakers, saying: "This is the perfect way to use up your leftover Easter eggs," describing her brownies as "fudgey" and noting they are "a great way to use up the odds and ends of chocolate lying about after Easter".

Ingredients
300g butter
300g dark chocolate
130g plain flour
75g cocoa powder
160g leftover Easter chocolate cut into pieces
5 eggs
360g caster sugar
Method
Gather all your ingredients – and let's get started on the baking journey. First and foremost, preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
Firstly, break your Easter egg into smaller pieces to resemble broken chocolate block chunks. Place the chocolate and butter in a bowl and microwave for two or three minutes, stirring frequently until the chocolate is fully melted.
Whisk together the eggs and sugar until they reach a "very thick, like a milkshake" consistency, then gently fold in the melted chocolate and butter.
Sift in the flour and cocoa, transfer the mixture to a lined baking dish or tray, and sprinkle any remaining chocolate on top. Bake for 28 to 33 minutes, "until the top is cracked and it no longer wobbles in the middle".
Resist the urge to dive in immediately. Rebs advises waiting for the brownies to cool down completely before cutting them "cut into squares and enjoy".
In the comments section, one person exclaimed: "Holy c**p these look good," tagging a friend to suggest making them together.
Another humorously offered to "sample them for you", remarking on how delightful they appeared.

"They look delicious," praised another, acknowledging this as the perfect method for using up any leftover chocolate.

The revenge of the young male novelist
Photo by Larry Ellis/Express/Getty Images Tales of Cruising London: Sex on the Heath and Other Places, by James Hatcher. All Google searches led to Tales of Cruising London: Sex on the Heath and Other Places, by James Hatcher. It was the only book I could find, but it was not the book I wanted. It was a book 'about men, about sex, and about himself'; I wanted a book about myself. At the time that meant young, male, and at least provisionally straight. Finer search terms than 'young male sex novel', of course, would have turned up much smarter matches. The canon itself largely comprises young male sex novels. Even our most revered critic James Wood remembers his Penguin Modern Classics 'seething like porn'. With hindsight, names like Byron, Lawrence, and Roth are obvious. Less obvious, however, are the equivalent contemporary names. Critics have been scratching their heads about where the literary dude went for some time now, and all the while the numbers seem to show a declining pool of reading dudes. In 2021, Megan Nolan wondered if men lacked the 'cool, sexy, gunslinger' figure that once lured them to fiction. 'Lots of agonising' went into Johanna Thomas-Corr's June 2022 New Statesman piece on this subject, which concluded that we should 'make room for genuine mischief and mess, experimentation and individuality'. As well as the straightforwardly literary, these pieces detect something sociological at stake too: a sense that young men are not being given the cultural mirror they need to inspect, understand and organise themselves. Lately the itch has gotten hotter. In March, Compact magazine published an article titled 'The Vanishing White Male Writer'. For that cohort, Jacob Savage wrote, 'the doors shut' in the 2010s, and never reopened. In April, novelist and critic Jude Cook announced his founding of new press that would look for young male voices. As Cook told me: 'If you go to your Foyle's or Waterstone's fiction table it's a sort of 80-20 split, and the men that do appear got published 30 or 40 years ago.' There's no deliberate plot against men, but there is an 'affinity bias', since publishing is 'a female-dominated business'. As it sometimes can, 'the discourse,' following the announcement, 'got slightly out of hand'. An agent named a Rising Star by Bookseller wrote that 'publishing truly trolls itself'. Cook pointed out to me that Bookseller's 10 fiction picks for the same month included zero male authors. However greatly exaggerated the death (or murder, or suicide) of literary man has been, for two months at least it seems all the young dudes are back in town. My teen self would have thrilled at the Spring-Summer 25 collection. Six new novels are out in May and June, mostly debuts, by authors in and around their thirties. So: if there is a crisis of literary masculinity – or, indeed, a crisis of masculinity itself – are these novels any salvation? The writers in question hail from both flanks of the pond, and come with some amusingly familiar Atlantic differences. The stateside authors have penned thinkpieces on the state of publishing, have been compared by their peers to Woolf, Tolstoy and Hemingway, and have arrived enterprisingly at an unambitious term for the movement they now represent: 'The New Romanticism'. One wrote his novel explicitly to reverse civilisational decline explicitly by restoring the Novel of Ideas. By contrast, one of the British authors told me he 'had absolutely no ideas' and warned 'there's a lot of guff in there'. The other agreed: 'No, I've not yet stitched together a civilisational project with which to justify my literary efforts.' Subscribe to The New Statesman today from only £8.99 per month Subscribe But it's not like you can dodge the culture wars either way. Cancel culture drives half the plots. In different books, students are 'pronoun people… with hair the colour of toilet cleanser', hold placards 'loudly disavowing their parents, or their relationship to the means of production, or their genitals', and hound a professor to suicide for sleeping with one he taught. How, formally, have the novels responded to this keenly felt political presence? Two of the six exhibit mid-century mannish conventions. Noah Kumin (otherwise best known as the founder of the Mars Review of Books, an iconoclastic and self-consciously countercultural New York literary magazine) has written Stop All the Clocks, a pulpish mystery thriller with AI and Elizabethan poetry thrown in. And Oxford academic Thomas Peermohamed Lambert's Shibboleth delivers an English comic campus novel. The latter, perhaps tellingly in a band of green authors, is at once the most obedient and the most finished of these books. If it seeks comparisons to Evelyn Waugh and Kingsley Amis quite knowingly, it seeks them quite successfully too. Then we have two books resembling late-20th-century American 'everything novels', of near-Victorian scale. English teacher John Pistelli's Major Arcana is a well-told ricochet that starts with a vibrant suicide. Three-pieces-a-week political columnist Ross Barkan's unflaggingly bright New York saga Glass Century involves three generations of a family, five decades of world events, and 600 pages. These two contains the half-dozen's highest descriptive and emotional moments – and not just because they are the only ones unabashed about trying for them. Lastly, there are two brief, tentative novels that you could imagine poised shyly at the edge of an otherwise all-female contemporary shelf. Despite their smaller descriptive milieus, Dimes Square playwright Matthew Gasda's daringly delicate The Sleepers and critic Leo Robson's delicately daring The Boys feel the most timely. Where the beefy works flaunt canonically angry ids – there are ravenous iPad fetish porn binges in Major Arcana and more than one ankle-trousered couch quickie in Glass Century – the slim novels offer something meeker. The central romance of The Boys never repeats or surpasses a chaste first kiss. The Sleepers is bleaker still: a loveless boyfriend loses erections as his girlfriend turns away from him and to her phone, and apologises 'like a little boy' after confessing his porn habit. 'What do you want me to say?' he asks. 'I watch porn and am sad and repressed and depressed.' Characters are also nervous to lose themselves in aesthetic experience. The Boys justifies a moment of poetic rapture on both sides: before, the character explicitly reminds himself to notice a moment of profundity; after, 'I was soon shaken out of my reverie.' Literate characters who airily cite names like Plato, Wilde, and Shakespeare now come with disclaimers acknowledging their hopeless eccentricity. You sense some anxiety that literary man is unwelcome even at the peripheries of culture. Last time this issue flared up, the New Statesman's correspondent suggested that the 'financial, reputational or sexual' dividends of literary stardom had dried up. And it is true that these books are out on small presses after their writers made their names through other channels; they achieved eminence as political columnists, academics, playwrights, scenesters, salonnieres, and editors. It is also true that only a rare young penman will find intelligent and ambitious young Tina Browns 'swept off [their] feet' by a 'literary lothario' (the fortune of the young Amis, whose ghost shadows all these debates). Actually, a likely candidate for genuine literary status is BookTokker and Tuber Jack Edwards, who told me how posting one short video to his hundreds of thousands of followers moved an obscure Dostoevsky novella, White Nights, from the back rooms to the shop windows of bookshops. But laments for literary lad don't just mourn individual glory. Flick through the catalogue of a writer who has asked where literary man went, and you are quite likely to find he has also asked where bohemia went. Today's sensitive souls know well that they missed a life where their odd passion was a normal hobby by just a few decades. As Bertrand Russell said, discussing youths or artistic natures, 'Very few men can be genuinely happy in a life involving continual self-assertion against the scepticism of the mass of mankind, unless they can shut themselves up in a coterie and forget the cold outer world.' American novelist John Updike claimed not to write for ego: 'I think of it more as innocence. A writer must be in some way innocent.' We might raise an eyebrow at this, from the highly successful and famously intrusive chronicler of human closeness. Even David Foster Wallace, the totem effigy of literary chauvinism, denounced Updike as a 'phallocrat'. But if we doubt such innocence of Updike, pronouncing as he was at the flushest height of fiction's postwar heyday, we might believe it of these new novelists, writing as they are and when they are. Without a promise of glory, and facing general scepticism, they have written from pure motives. They are novelists as Updike defined them: 'only a reader who was so excited that he tried to imitate and give back the bliss that he enjoyed'. So it may be no bad thing if none of these novels quite fetches the reviews Wallace's masterpiece Infinite Jest did ('the plaques and citations can now be put in escrow. … it's as though Wittgenstein has gone on Jeopardy!'). These guys want to start a moment, not end one. They more want to write novels than be novelists. It is hard to say what relief these books might bring to a societal masculinity crisis, but in composing them their authors have displayed at least the two simple virtues Updike wanted to claim for himself: 'a love of what is, and a wish to make a thing'.

‘Significant challenges' in use of AI within UK screen sector

Did you know with a Digital Subscription to The Scotsman, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... The use of artificial intelligence (AI) within the UK screen sector raises 'significant legal, ethical, and practical challenges' such as the use of copyrighted material being used without the permission of the rights holders, a report has warned. Other issues highlighted by the British Film Institute (BFI) report include the safeguarding of human creative control, the fear of jobs being lost as positions are replaced through the use of AI, and investment in training in new skills. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad High energy consumption and carbon emissions, and the risks to creative content around biased data, are also described as being of concern. The report, which has been carried out in partnership with CoSTAR universities Goldsmiths, Loughborough and Edinburgh, analyses how the screen sector is using and experimenting with rapidly evolving generative AI technologies. It warned that the 'primary issue' was the use of copyrighted material – such as hundreds of thousands of film and TV scripts – in the training of generative AI models, without payment or the permission of rights-holders. 'This practice threatens the fundamental economics of the screen sector if it devalues intellectual property creation and squeezes out original creators,' the report said. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad But it added that the UK's strong foundation in creative technology – as it is home to more than 13,000 creative technology companies – means that the UK screen sector is well positioned to adapt to the technological shift. Getty Images The report – titled AI in the Screen Sector: Perspectives and Paths Forward – said generative AI promises to democratise and revolutionise the industry, with the BBC, for example, piloting AI initiatives. Meanwhile, projects such as the Charismatic consortium, which is backed by Channel 4 and Aardman Animations, aim to make AI tools accessible to creators regardless of their budget or experience. It said this could empower a new wave of British creators to produce high-quality content with modest resources, though concerns about copyright and ethical use remain significant barriers to full adoption. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The report sets out nine key recommendations it suggests should be addressed within the next three years to enable the UK screen sector to thrive in using AI. These include establishing the UK as a world-leading market of IP licensing for AI training, and embedding sustainability standards to reduce AI's carbon footprint. It also calls for structures and interventions to pool knowledge, develop workforce skills and target investments in the UK's creative technology sector, while it urges support for independent creators through accessible tools, funding and ethical AI products. The BFI's director of research and innovation, Rishi Coupland, said: 'AI has long been an established part of the screen sector's creative toolkit, most recently seen in the post-production of the Oscar-winning The Brutalist, and its rapid advancement is attracting multimillion investments in technology innovator applications. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'However, our report comes at a critical time and shows how generative AI presents an inflection point for the sector and, as a sector, we need to act quickly on a number of key strategic fronts. 'Whilst it offers significant opportunities for the screen sector such as speeding up production workflows, democratising content creation and empowering new voices, it could also erode traditional business models, displace skilled workers, and undermine public trust in screen content. 'The report's recommendations provide a roadmap to how we can ensure that the UK's world-leading film, TV, video games and VFX industries continue to thrive by making best use of AI technologies to bring their creativity, innovations and storytelling to screens around the globe.' Professor Jonny Freeman, director of CoSTAR Foresight Lab, said: 'This latest CoSTAR Foresight Lab report, prepared by the BFI, navigates the complex landscape of AI in the screen sector by carefully weighing both its transformative opportunities and the significant challenges it presents. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'The report acknowledges that while AI offers powerful tools to enhance creativity, efficiency, and competitiveness across every stage of the production workflow – from script development and pre-production planning, through on-set production, to post-production and distribution – it also raises urgent questions around skills, workforce adaptation, ethics, and sector sustainability.'

Paul Hollywood on his love of flying and how he landed TV career
Get a weekly round-up of stories from The Sunday Post: Thank you for signing up to our Sunday Post newsletter. Something went wrong - please try again later. Sign Up Great British Bake Off's Paul Hollywood has a dream, and it's not pie in the sky. The man with a need for speed (he's a keen biker) has a vision of flying a helicopter to the land of his forebears – Poolewe in the north-west Highlands. 'It would be quicker and easier than by road,' he grins. The Wirral-born baker, who has judged on the show for 15 years, initially with Mary Berry for the BBC before controversially moving to Channel 4 in 2017 to judge with Prue Leith, always knew there was Scots blood in his veins. But it wasn't until he took part in the BBC genealogy series Who Do You Think You Are? that he realised how deep it ran. 'I'm more Celt than I am English,' the 59-year-old tells P.S. from his home in rural Kent. Paul, whose great-grandfather Kenneth Mackenzie was in the Glasgow police, says: 'They always ask you before they start the genealogy programme: 'Where do you feel more comfortable?' 'I said in a scenic, remote location with mountains and streams. At the end of the filming, I was sitting on a rock just outside Poolewe, and they told me to look around and then they played back what I'd said at the beginning. 'Oh my God,' I said, 'this is it…'' © Supplied by Bloomsbury publisher He adds with more than a hint of pride: 'I am a Mackenzie of Gairloch and Poolewe. My family are Highlanders who went down to Glasgow in the 1800s.' In this year's New Year's Bake Off he sported a kilt made for him by Black Isle designer Siobhan Mackenzie. 'I wore it for the Hogmanay Bake Off special and Prue wore her Leith colours.' Paul has toured in Scotland, worked at the BBC's Glasgow studios, and spent a week filming in Gairloch and Poolewe, and he is planning a return, initially as a road trip. He embarked on a helicopter pilot course in 2023. 'It was a dream I had as a kid. I used to have all these toy helicopters,' he reveals. 'Then, years ago, I had a trial lesson for a birthday present. There are nine exams. I have done them all and I have my radio licence. 'I still have to do a final practical test. I am trying to fit it in around work and I can't fly when I'm filming. 'It feels like I have accomplished something for myself. It has been good to sit down and study for what feels like the first time in my life. 'I always struggled in school, I lacked the concentration. I didn't try, nothing clicked. If they had baking classes, I would have probably done all right. Clearly, I can concentrate when I'm interested in something.' Paul – who in April hit headlines when he went to the aid of a pilot who crashed his small plane into a field in Kent – admits he would never have imagined having a TV career or that it would lead to authorship and even bankroll his dream of flying helicopters. The Wallasey lad started out following in his graphic designer mum Gillian's footsteps but gave up art college to join his dad John in his bakery business, before becoming head baker at top hotels in the UK and Cyprus. He has just launched his sixth recipe book, Celebrate, which is in part inspired by a childhood centred around the church at which his grandfather was a lay preacher and his grandmother organised coffee mornings. Reliving those days, he says: 'Most times there was always a birthday or people going back to the church for a party and there were a lot of traybakes and treats, which is where a lot of the ideas for the book came from.' An eclectic mix of foolproof recipes for showstopping bakes marking life's special moments, it is packed with easy traybakes, layer cakes, quiches, tarts, breads, pastries, desserts and cookies. Dad-of-one Paul married his second wife, Melissa, in 2023 in his beloved Cyprus, where he lived for six years and made his first foray into TV. He says: '(Food writer) Thane Prince was making a programme, Food From the Village, and asked me to be part of it. 'He said I was quite natural on television and I should do some more. He gave me a card and said: 'Contact this agent when you're back in the UK,' so I did.' © Bloomsbury Publishing/PA It led to a TV series with James Martin in 2000 and, among others, appearances on This Morning and the Gloria Hunniford Show. A few years later he got the call for the Great British Bake Off. Fame came fast. 'In the first couple of years of Bake Off, I could walk down the road without too much of an issue. Now it's different,' he says. 'You have to adjust and get used to that. What you gain financially is fantastic, but what you lose is quite substantial – your anonymity, your privacy – but you don't know that at the beginning.' With millions of viewers and its popularity in the States rocketing, he laughs: 'People come up and talk to you in the strangest places. I was using the loo in Switzerland and a Brazilian bloke came in and recognised me straight away. He asked if I would speak to his wife. I said I would, but could I just finish what I was doing.' Despite his serious Bake Off persona, he has a sense of humour, as his part in the Compare the Meerkat TV ads shows. 'People who know me know I don't take myself seriously. The role I have in Bake Off is a role. Real life is very different. 'I am constantly taking the mickey out of myself. That advert tickled me so I said I'd do it. 'People were phoning me saying: 'Why don't you get off my television,'' he grins. 'Being on the TV wasn't a job that you looked at when I was a kid. Even my mum said that out of all of my brothers I'd be the last one to do that. I was quite quiet and shy. It just found me.' © Mark Bourdillon/Channel 4/PA Wire Any regrets? 'I have no regrets TV-wise. I feel I have done all the things I've set out to do. I'm contented with where I am and with what I am doing but it has taken me a long time to get that point. I live in the middle of nowhere and keep myself to myself. 'I'm doing what I did when I was young. 'I like a quiet life, reading old spy novels and flying stories, cycling, sitting in the sunshine and listening to good music. I'm a big fan of Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. I'm a bit of a hippy really.' Paul's five-star work experience © PA Paul Hollywood worked as head baker at some of Britain's most exclusive hotels, including Cliveden, the Chester Grosvenor and The Dorchester, as well as the five star Annabelle in Cyprus, before getting his start in UK TV. In 1999 he co-hosted shows with James Martin for the Carlton Food Network and CFN Taste. Now heading into his 17th year with The Great British Bake Off, and with an MBE for baking and broadcasting, he remembers his salad days, juggling hotel work with TV. Recalling his meeting with his now pal John Torode in Cyprus, he says: 'He knew a chef I worked with in the hotel. Years later I came back to the UK and did a programme with James Martin, and John was one of the guests. He walked in and went, 'Oh my God, I saw your name but thought it can't be that guy from Cyprus. Well done mate'. 'I met Jamie Oliver when he was doing Naked Chef. He used to say, 'just do it mate, enjoy it'. But I was still working in hotels and TV wasn't my main job. It was a bit of icing on the side of the cake.' Now it's the main deal, who would Paul have bake his showstopper? 'Probably Raymond Blanc, he is a legend, a god. His food, and the way he approaches his food, is stunning… or Benoit (Blin),' he says, blue eyes sparkling. Celebrate: Joyful Baking All Year Round by Paul Hollywood is published by Bloomsbury
