I’m having a bit of a sort out here at Silver Screen Suppers Towers and I keep finding brilliant things like this. When I stumbled upon this wonderful magazine cover, I thought to myself, “did I ever write about the time I was a beekeeper for the day?” Well I did, but it’s been in...
I think that one of the secrets of adulthood is that once you have found a good recipe for something, you just stick with it. If I want to make a potato salad, I always make the one in my chum Alastair Hendy’s Home Cook cookbook. If I have a yearning for cauliflower cheese it’ll...
There is something very appealing about the recipe title “Honey Buns”, so it was destined that I make them at some point, and make them I did, for the Muswell Hill and District Horticultural Society Spring Show.

Supreme? In what way is this supreme Anne? I’m disappointed in you! Mind you, I should have known just by reading the ingredients, but I liked the SOUND of it, so I decided to make it. A good recipe name can do a lot of convincing sometimes. Perhaps it was the Malibu part that tempted...
“Do at least a few of the things that really seem fun. Nobody should be afraid to have fun …even if it’s silly.” This apparently was Anne’s comment in a magazine when she was asked why she was wearing toe rings… Oooh I love Anne Baxter in “All About Eve” and possibly...
