My friend Commodorified is holding another of her occasional festivals of Cooking For People Who Don’t, and this month’s theme is Half Homemade. I have to say, this particular theme has caused me quite a bit of difficulty. There just…

Cooking around allergies
I’m right in the middle of wedding cake cookery right now – the cakes are cooling, and tomorrow I’ll be decorating them. I may also have a new recipe or two for you tomorrow, if all goes well, as well…
Recipe: New World Stovetop Veggie Feast
So I kind of accidentally got captured by the internet last night and then it was 8pm and I hadn’t really thought about dinner, except that it needed to include corn, and all my cookbooks were useless on the subject,…

Recipe: Potato Salad with Saffron and Herbs, for Beth
This is another recipe that I promised to pass on more than a year ago. Maybe two years go. Oh dear. Sorry, Beth… Anyway, this recipe’s a real delight – light and herby and tangy, without the creaminess of traditional…
