Tip of the day

Never ask a child IF they need the loo... moodlum

Quote of the week

CaptainNancy's (admirably succinct) family rules: "Don't be a dingbat/duffer. Keep calm and carry on. Dream big. Shut up and get on with it."

Recipe of the week

Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

This is a fantastic book full of interesting facts as well as wonderful recipes. I have used many of these recipes and found them clear and easy to follow. Nice to find a beautiful and interesting "coffee table" type cookbook that is also a practical and useful recipe book.

A brilliant book if you like Middle Eastern food (or just want a change) - or are interested in the history and culture(s). Delicious food, mostly easy to cook, as well as more challenging dishes and fascinating background. I particularly like Mutabbal (an Aubergine dip).

Some excellent vegetarian recipes as well.
