About this Cook
I love cooking, and eating what i make! I make as much from scratch as i can, from pies to fish fingers. I love fresh fish and am always looking for recipes to try to make fish more interesting.
My favorite things to cook
I love making bread, especially Jo's Rosemary Bread. I enjoy making savory meals, and love pie. Making meals with left overs is always a challenge for me, so am always looking for new ideas for this.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I don't really have any traditions. My daughter helps in the kitchen when we bake, and loves getting right in there. She also loves licking the spoon after we've made cakes!!
My cooking triumphs
I made Piccalilli for the first time and it came out amazing, just like we have here in England.
My cooking tragedies
I made a chocolate cake for one of the guys at work birthday. It happened to be on the hottest day of the year and so melted in the car on the way to work in the morning. My boss told me it looked like elephant poo :-( i was really upset, it took me ages to make!

Barm Brack
Yum! I originally tried this on holiday in Wales this past "summer" and it was delicious. It was recommended to me to try it spread with butter, the way the Welsh have it, and I loved it. This recipe is the exact of what I had in that little cafe in Wales and tastes fantastic. A definite must on my table this winter

Easy Granola Bars
These are pretty good. I added seedless raisens rather than cranberries because of the cost, and couldnt find anything other than organic chocolate drops so used smashed up plain cooking chocolate pieces. I also missed out coconut because I can't stand the stuff! They're really moreish and my daughter loves them. We will be taking them camping with us on Saturday.

The Best Banana Bread
I was surprised this recipe didnt state a pan size, so I just guessed. I didnt mash the banana completely, i left it chunky, I also followed advice from previous reviewers and used half cup brown sugar and half cup white. This was lovely :-)
