I had a LOT of sweet potatoes hanging around the flat after filming the making of a Sweet Potato Pie a couple of weeks ago. Whose Sweet Potato Pie? Patti LaBelle’s Sweet Potato Pie of course… Some of you may know all about the craze for Patti LaBelle’s Sweet Potato Pie, set in motion by...
When there is a birthday at work I usually make a cake. As my life is pretty chaotic (which actually, I imagine anyone’s life is, in this day and age) I always rack my brains for something I can get up at 6 for, to make on the day, and not be too late for...
Ooh what a rotten photo! The Recipe of the Month is UP – and it is easy, peasy, goooooooeeeeey and yummy. You make the cake mixture and then pour boiling water over the top and when you take it out of the oven and turn it upside down there is a ready made chocolate fudge...

“Suppose I bust out crying and put my head on your shoulder.” I’d give you a cuddle Fred. It is the first post using my swanky new MacBook computer. I was seduced by the marketing campaigns but it sure is perty. In advance of the MS Cake Break Day I made one of Fred’s chocolate...
“The two films I did with Billy Wilder, ‘Double Indemnity’ and the ‘The Apartment’ are the only two parts I did in my entire career that required any acting.” Isn’t Fred handsome?
