I was catching up on my ‘mentions’ over on Twitter the other morning when I noticed that the Italian chef Antonio Carluccio was a member on there, naturally I clicked to follow him. Not only did I click the follow button but I clicked the profile button too; a dangerous thing of course as it then [...]

Not so long back I joined Twitter, some of you might even have noticed the “follow me” widget in my side bar Twitter is something I’ve put off and put off; do I really need to cram what I’m doing into 140 characters and spout about daily life to the rest of the world? Is [...]

Peking Duck or Aromatic Crispy Duck is probably high up on most peoples favourite Chinese take out food. Something complicated and best left to the experts or so I thought until yesterday. Rachel Allen’s lovely new book Home Cooking arrived on my doorstep a few days ago and the Aromatic Crispy Duck Rolls were quickly bookmarked [...]

Mouth-watering photography brings the meals to life and gives much inspiration. Bill is rather short with words in his recipe introductions and as such the photos need to convey the hidden voice of Bill and [...]

Algo es algo; menos es nada or roughly translated – half a loaf is better than no bread! Never were truer words spoken. Oh how I wished I’d made a lovely rustic country style loaf to go with our dinner yesterday but I didn’t and it meant we were without bread, I was sure we’d [...]

When I was fourteen I went on a holiday to Gumbet in Turkey, at that time the resort was rather quiet with just a few local shops and a couple of restaurants but from what I can gather it is now a thriving tourist resort – I’m glad I went when I did, although I [...]

No I don’t own 1080 cookery books, some days it feels that way though and not in a good way. You have a notion you remember a recipe but for the life of you can’t remember which book it is in – a few hours searching and you remember it’s in a book that you’ve [...]

I just love a good Chilli Con Carne but I’ve tried so many disappointing recipes that I thought I’d pretty much given up on eating this as a regular meal. Inspiration came on Friday night, why not just make something up as I went along? Did I really need a recipe to follow? Not really, I mean [...]
