Bored with the same old working from home lunch? I am finding it easy to be lazy about lunches. Toast is usually on the menu, and now the weather has changed I have rediscovered my passion for posh Cup-a-Soup, namely Szechuan Hot & Sour. But the other day I got a...

I love Greg Swenson, author of the fabulous Recipes For Rebels: In The Kitchen With James Dean cookbook. We have never met in person (I am in England, Greg is in Greece) but we are KINDRED SPIRITS and occasionally have a day where we cook the same movie star recipes...

I can’t believe that I’ve been writing this blog for 12 years – goodness me. So much has changed in that time. When I began I was a broken-hearted singleton living on a houseboat on the Thames. My tabletop cooker had to be turned on...

Natalie is in the news at the moment. Will we ever know what really happened on that boat? I doubt it. It’s making me very sad reading about it. I’ve written here before about how much I love Natalie, and I always think about her...

Been thinking about my friend Greg today over at Recipes for Rebels and sent him good, good vibes from halfway across the world as I cooked this dish. I am loving my new cast iron frying pan… This is the first dish I ever cooked from his fabulous...

This is a photo of me, many moons ago, pretending to play a Wurlitzer dressed as Natalie Wood. Why? It’s a long story. I am almost at the stage where I know how to rustle up Natalie’s Huevos Rancheros without looking at the recipe....

Classic Hollywood movies, I’ve missed you! Over the last couple of years, I’ve had the entire Columbo series on rotation in my kitchen. I plonked my old laptop on top of the kitchen record player, and had an episode of Columbo on DVD keeping me...

Ahh, the splendour of Natalie’s Huevos Rancheros, now probably my default Saturday breakfast. Even when engaged in baking 14 loaves of beer bread, a couple of Saturdays ago: I managed to rustle some up, to give me sustenance. I added some red peppers...

I had a raging hangover on Saturday morning. On Friday night I stayed up late at Mr R’s place, drinking beer and watching Madness videos. I’d forgotten how good they were. I think we watched this about 13 times… Cracks me up!...

The best thing about having a blog, is that you get to meet chums through the internet that you would never ever meet otherwise. Such a chum is Greg Swenson who has just published this brilliant cookbook: Greg lives in Greece, and he and I have been pen pals for...
