The Gnomes Made Me Do It!

I have now in my possession, a 2nd Nigella Lawson book, FEAST. I hope to amass her entire collection eventually. Apart from being incredibly sexy, she's an amazing food writer. Her book reads like a whimsical story instead of your usual ingredient-instruction type cookbook. Plus, it's plenty encouraging, so even if you stuff up, it's almost like she's patting you on the back and telling you 'Its ok that your cake looks and tastes like dog shit'. I got mother to buy back some wicked dark muscavado sugar from London as her recipes (mostly the cake ones) often require some typical english products that we can't get over here. So it is imperative that I fully exploit the fact that the brother is based there for the next 3-4 years and get my hands on all the english produce I possibly can. Food brings people together, and it's that much more special when it's something you've slaved over for friends/family . I think another home cookout is in order :)
