It could be argued that when one is making preserves the kitchen is always scented but add flowers to the mix and you really do get the full head on hit of The Scented Kitchen. The Scented Kitchen: Cooking With Flowers (Francis Bissell) is a very inspiring book to have in your cookery book collection, but [...]

I came across this list via Niamh’s lovely wee site and thought I’d share it with you all. Now I often go visiting Wikio’s Gastronomy ratings out of pure nosiness and obviousy to see where my own blog is figuring in the numbers. Obviously I’d love to see my site in the top 10, okay [...]

Farmhouse bread for me is the kind of old-fashioned, homey bread that I imagine people of my parents generation and beyond buying from their local bakery or village store on a more or less daily basis. My Dad for instance remembers being sent to buy a farmhouse loaf like this and battling the urge to [...]

Autumn (also known as Fall in North American English) is one of the four temperate seasons. Autumn marks the transition from summer into winter, usually in late March (southern hemisphere) or late September (northern hemisphere) when the arrival of night becomes noticeably earlier. The word autumn comes from the Old French word autompne (automne in [...]
