Who knew such a simple word could create such dislike? A tweet on Friday said those who claimed ownership belonged up there groups such as furries. Who I don’t think are known for their love of food. And I know it is a divisive word. But what are the alternatives? When I was looking for [...]

I wrote a post before about cookbooks from different characters, like Snoopy and Harry Potter, and I’ve come across a few more, but with more of a film and TV theme, that I thought were fun, and would be conversation starters with anyone browsing your cookbook shelves. They might even have some pretty decent recipes [...]

The Friday Five – Winter is practically on us!

Okay, I’m not sure how it happened, but we seem to have lost 20° in the outside temperature, and this morning I was out there with the ice scraper. So, Delia’s Summer Collection is going away for 6 months, and swapped for the winter version, which is my standby for this time of year. But [...]

Things are a bit mad here at the moment with one thing and another, and so not getting to write as much as I’d like, particularly given I’d got quite a lot tucked away to write about! So I thought I’d just share photos of some of the stuff that caught my eye recently, stuff [...]

The Friday Five – What the Birthday Fairy Delivered
July 22nd, 2011 · No Comments · Baking, British favourites, Chocolate, Cookbooks, Food Writing, French food, Friday Five
It’ll probably come as no surprise to learn that my birthday presents included a significant number of books focused on food. No real pattern to them, I guess rather representing my varied interests on food. I’m very happy to find all of these now on my bookshelf: Fat Witch Brownies: [...]
The Friday Five – my birthdays in cookbooks

Lets face it, I’m pretty good at birthdays now. I’ve had more than a few, and I guess friends and family have got the hang by now of my interests and likes! In fact, writing the blog has definitely helped them out, with some of my posts being less than subtle hints! So, as [...]

The best things about home: cake, and more cake
July 9th, 2011 · No Comments · Baking, Cookbooks, Food Writing, Foodie gifts, Foodie things to do, Recipes
It’s a great privilege to travel, to see distant places, to meet new folk. It can also be a right pain in the rear, with delays, airline food, lumpy beds and so on. So I am always thrilled to be back home, back to my own bed, back in the countryside, back with friends and [...]
Are these the most beautiful cookbooks ever?
June 22nd, 2011 · 1 Comment · British favourites, Cookbooks, Food Writing, Foodie gifts, Italian food
I was in Waterstones the other day and my eye was caught by a display of really attractive paperbacks. Imagine my joy to not only find they were beautiful but they are also some of the most amazing cookbooks ever written. Now, I’d like the Birthday Fairy to just bring me the whole set, if [...]
