Quote of the week

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.

"A wonderful read, funny as well as informative." "This is not a 'do it this way' type book, more a series of suggestions that might help you negotiate parenting problems like teaching manners, throwing terrific birthday parties, and combining working from home with being a hands-on mummy." "Purves is very laid back and tells you not to fret about endless toilet talk (they WILL grow out of it) nor to spend masses of cash on crappy plastic toys that only last a week." " Just a lot of common sense really, but it's good to hear it from someone else."
