Have a white Christmas

ANOTHER year another liver transplant. That’s top of my Christmas wish list, so there’s a challenge for Santa.Read

Beetroot soup

I’VE written before about the equal pleasure and pain of a weekly veg box delivery.Read

A year of grapes and gripes

I ALWAYS find it interesting looking back at what I’ve written over the last 12 months.Read

Turning water into wine

IMAGINE having wine on tap. Incredibly, householders living near Rome found themselves in that enviable position last week.Read

Minestrone soup

THIS makes a huge pot of chunky soup . . . just what the doctor ordered for October evenings.Read

Tasty casserole without rigmarole

THERE’S been a definite chill in the air this week, so now’s about the time to dust off the casserole dishes and start making some warming, comforting dishes for the evening.Read

Stuffed marrow

THIS year, I have pledged to throw nothing edible away, but I could feel my resolve weaken when faced with a monster marrow last week.Read

Are you one of nine drinker types?

HEALTH bods last week claimed to have identified the nine personality types of heavy drinkers at risk of liver damage.Read

Mix-and-match cookies

NOW that the children are back at school, these biscuits make a great after-school snack or, if your school allows it, a lunchbox treat.Read

Putting plonk in its place

IT’S not often you lose your rag writing a wine column, but this week was one of those rare occasions.Read

Pressure’s on for Champagne bottle glass trial

IT appears that soon champagne bottles won’t be what they once were. Tests are currently being carried out to see if producers can reduce the weight of the glass used to contain the legendary fizz. Read

Steamed Oriental-style chicken and rice

AS the starting point for most of my menus seems to be what needs to be used up first, this is yet another recipe perfect for disposing of all the bits and bobs of veg that you seem to accumulate as the week goes by.Read

Lasagne al Forno

IT’S hard to imagine, but lasagne al forno used to be considered exotic when it first came to our attention in the late 1970s.Read

Get a few scallops under your belt

SCALLOPS are my favourite food in the world, so they probably turn up on my dinner table more frequently than most people’s.Read

Marmalade Cake

“SHE doesn’t bake” used to be the ultimate put-down by my mother when I was a child, and sending shop- bought cakes into school fairs and coffee mornings was beyond the pale.Read

White’s a skinless wonder

GOD bless booze boffins. I have often reported of the health-giving properties of red wine, due to the polyphenols and resveratrols they contain.Read

Rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb!

ALTHOUGH I have never grown rhubarb myself, I seem to unaccountably have huge amounts to use up every year, passed on to me by various people as their crops threaten to overwhelm them.Read

No need to do a Delia

I KNOW it’s tantamount to heresy for a cook to admit it, but I really can’t stand Delia Smith.Read

What credit crunch?

THE credit crunch. How do you cope? You need to save cash but what do you cut back on? Clothes, holidays, cars, or going to the cinema.Read

Stick with a barbie favourite

AS I write this, the rain is thundering on the windows but, as we’re now in June, it seems reasonable to assume that the weather will improve again soon.Read
