I love snow and I've been wistfully following the flurries around the UK on the news, Twitter, blogs and Facebook, wondering if it will head my way. I have a section in my new cookbook listing things to do on snow days and I'm looking forward to doing them when I get my own snow day. Until then, I thought it would be fun if we have a little food blogging event and you can send me pictures of the snow where you are so I get to see it, along with the lovely bakes you make. What do you think; sound like fun? Read post.
This time of year is perfect for baked potatoes, or jacket potatoes as I knew them growing up. Earthy vegetables come into their own in the autumn, often becoming the main act at meal times, even for us carnivorous folks, and a baked potato can be a real star. It's one of those really homely meals that really nourishes and comforts; as basic as it is. On cold evenings it's like a hot water bottle for your tummy and on rainy days it's cheering with its crisp skin, fluffy insides and rising steam. Read post
Coca-Cola has teamed up with Tom Aikens, Alex James, Liz McClarnon and myself, to create a limited edition stylish recipe book called ‘When You Entertain’ – a modern twist on the original Coca-Cola recipe book from 1932, which was written by the legendary American Hostess Ida Bailey Allen. 'When you Entertain' celebrates the brand's rich heritage and association with food and family occasions over the last century. We have each created a series of dishes which evoke intimate memories of mealtime occasions with family and friends, celebrating the fact that food is very much a social event. The family inspired recipes are divided into four easy mealtime categories; Weekend Brunches, Family Mealtimes, Saturday Night with Friends and Easy Lunch. My recipes include homely favourites such as Sausage and Mash with Onion and Thyme Gravy, and Bramley Apple Pie. This unique celebration of mealtime occasions with family & friends is available exclusively at Harvey Nichols from September 20th 2010. Enjoy!
