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.

I started cooking from this when I was pregnant with my first about three years ago - it was an inspiration, some of the recipes taste so good and you would never expect just how good they taste. I also recommend the fish store, same author.

Plenty of easy recipes although not all involve just the one pot. Main meals are the book's focus although they can obviously be adapted for starters if you so wished. Rather restricted pudding selection but those that are featured are very nice (especially if you are a rice pudding or trifle person!). Nothing is especially complicated so would be good for cooks of all abilities. Personal favourites are the Boston bean soup with watercress, Chicken pilaf and Cod with white beans.
