I saw country singer Trisha Yearwood on The View, spruiking her new book
Home Cooking with Trisha Yearwood: Stories and Recipes to Share with Family and Friends
The lovely ladies at the View raved about her Southern style cooking and loved Trisha’s version of “crack” – a sweet and salty snack so good you can’t stop eating it. The recipe for Sweet and Saltines is here.

In my quest for “Great British Food” (a fool’s quest to some and an oxymoron to many) I stumbled upon “Clarissa’s Comfort Food” in a discount bookshop. read more

5 for style, 3 for substance – the recipes did not taste great.
This book is like David Beckham – sexy as all hell – but such a shame he has to talk…
It is easily the most beautiful cookbook I have ever seen.
It IS the new Britannia (circa Tony Blair / pre- GFC) – cool, whimsical, Kate Moss meets Coldplay, “keep calm carry on” …
Alas, when it comes to communicating, something goes slightly out of kilter.
My rating 4 stars
4 for styling/3.5 for content
I absolutely loved Marion on the Masterchef series and dreamed of being her best friend forever!!
Obviously I desperately wanted to love her new book. Alas, it was not meant to be… does this make me a frenemy?

As a youngster in a migrant family, primary school fetes were completely foreign to me. Other kid’s parents made honey joys, toffees, rumballs, and fairy cakes. My parents sent me in with a packet of Marie biscuits. : (

Manu Feildel is hot. And after seeing him at the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival I can confirm that he knows it.

Balthazar is my favourite restaurant in NYC and I had to buy the cookbook on my last visit (also available online).
