Audrey’s cake looked delightful as I was making it Not so much when it came out of the oven, though… I have made Audrey’s cake twice. The first time I burned it too. I blamed the oven in my old Muswell Hill flat, which always ran hot. I always had to set the temperature dial...
Who would win in a fight? Audrey Hepburn or Heinz? There’s only one way to find out… Fight! Or, to be slightly more refined, to invite chums round for dinner and a blind-tasting experiment. I was well-chuffed to score a jar of the limited edition Heinz/Absolut collaboration in April 2023. But it took me ages...
On our tour around the stations of the Northern Line, carrying film star foodstuff, I am always on the lookout for something appropriate to scoff on the platform.

I burned the top of this cake so when I took it out of the oven, I almost put it straight in the bin. It was a birthday cake for my beloved and his family for a celebratory lunch and I thought it would taste awful. BUT, I had no more eggs, so couldn’t make...
I’ve got my head down making last minute tweaks to the Columbo cookbook – my goodness what a lot of work! It’s fun though, and I haven’t quite started panicking yet. I’m putting cooking on hold a bit and trying not to be tempted by fabulous new recipes that keep popping up in my periphery....
Mmm. This was really tasty. Sometimes you can look at the ingredients in a recipe and be fairly sure it’s going to be a hit. Such it is with Audrey’s pasta sauce. Butter, onion, tomato puree, vodka, Parmesan… It’s going to be good isn’t it? And it is. I love the book this recipe is...

Full of great recipes and family tales of fabulous food. Gorgeous. For more about it, and recipes for Audrey’s Chocolate Cake with Whipped Cream, Penne alla Vodka...
