Twittering Away!

As you will see from this home page, I have now stepped into the 21st Century and had lessons from my long suffering daughter Michaela on how to navigate around both Twitter and Facebook. She has had her work cut out I can tell you!
It's a revelation and I have to admit, I am rather enjoying it all - its very spontaneous and I can see why so many millions of people use it to keep in touch.

Feel free to Tweet me anytime or catch me on Facebook where I also have a page www.facebook.com

This Weeks Featured Recipes

Cheese Souffle

I just love the rich, but light texture of this souffle and the first time I made this recipe was at home using a Stellar stick blender, mini food processor and a mini oven.

Perfect Roast Potatoes

If your roasties are crispy on the outside but empty on the inside, try this method.

The Harradine Stuff

A very old family recipe, simple to make, spread it on bread, crumpets - anything you fancy - my favourite is to spread it on a long stick of celery or pile it up on warm toast

Eton Mess

Eton Mess is a quintessentially English dessert, and is traditionally served at Eton College's annual cricket game against the students of Winchester College. The dish has been known by this name since the 19th century so you are eating a little bit of history here!

Cajun Chicken Pieces

This very tasty way of serving chicken can be cooked on a BBQ using a griddle pan in the same way as if you were cooking in your kitchen

How to Make your Own Jam

You can pretty much use the same recipe for any soft fruit and it is very easy to make using this method

Lemon Cheesecake

A very simple recipe, nothing complicated but looks very impressive when you put it on the table!

Traditional Fish & Chips

My family owned and ran a Fish & Chip shop in Penzance for several years during the 70's and we discovered the very best way to make delicious fish and chips

Fruit Scones

A traditional English afternoon tea simply would not be complete without a scone and jam! I have fond memories of my mum making these for our Sunday tea!
