David Cameron on whether The Thick of It accurately represents the Conservative publicity machine: "I love The Thick of It. V funny... but only true about the other lot (not)."

Recipe of the week

penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.

My first reaction to the title of this book was 'blimey how patronising can you get?' but I've used this cookery book the most out of my vast collection as it really covers the basics as well as some fancy things too.

The cake recipes are fab, you have to try the chocolate and raspberry cake. There is also a good section on children's food, but not the fish fingers and chips variety. The cheese stars are so simple to make and go down a treat at kids parties.

OK, so it's not exactly hot off the press. However this is a great book full of lots of variations on simple family dinners - there must be a dozen ways to liven up a roast chicken.

In addition, there is a chapter on cooking for children. This isn't food with smiley faces on, but simply quick to prepare, healthy dinners. Oh, and there's another chapter on low-fat cooking, in case, like me, you are still working on the old baby weight.
