I was craving Mae’s salad for lunch when I was at the supermarket today so I tried to remember what was in it on the hoof. So this is basically Mae’s recipe with the addition of a few things I had knocking around the fridge – lettuce, rocket,...

Ooh Mae, I think it was having some of your Salada for lunch that made me break all the rules and go out with a fella last night. What happened to my giving up men for Lent pledge?! Ha ha! Mae would have been proud of me. I sat in an enormous fibre glass throne...

Fortified by some of Mae West’s salad I made a big dent in the copyright clearance task last night. I’m having to approach all the copyright holders for these recipes (where known) and possibly the stars’ estates too. I am quite looking forward to...

Oh how I LOVE those Audio Gold boys. They are so kind to me. They found me some speakers and a GORGEOUS Ferrograph amp (who knew I’d need one of those too?) They fiddled around with the amp, cleaning all the connections, showing me the splendour of the inside...

Much good humoured hilarity this week when Nazimova brought in the “Pumpkin Pie a la Robert” she had made from this month’s special recipe. Naz is from Belgrade and had sent me an email saying that she’d never had Pumpkin Pie so had no...

What a FANTASTIC afternoon we had in Cardiff at the Silver Screen Suppers event. There was a lot of love in the house and a LOT of cream cheese too! Chefs Ruth C, Katharine and Anita rustled up tonnes of Silver Screen Supper foodstuffs and the guests wolfed the lot...

“Cultivate your curves…” Sure thing Mae, I will! Doesn’t Salada de Tuna sound much more fun than Tuna Salad? I was rustling some up in the kitchen just now when I heard a really, really loud plane fly past. This sometimes gives me the heeby...
