More About sasa

Family cooking traditions: My Grandma complains about any present I give her so for her birthday I just cook a big meal. My whole family loves it and even she can't find fault!

Cooking triumphs: For my Grandmother's birthday last year, I fixed a fancy three-course meal for eight people for the first time. Everyone loved it and I felt very proud, but I think learning any new recipe is always a great triumph.

Cooking tragedies: When I was 8 I was so proud to be able to make drop scones by myself but occasionally I forgot to grease the pan. Also, a few weeks ago, I was frying banana fritters and suddenly the margarine in the pan caught fire! I made David and Sophie swear not to tell Dad.
