Foodie - Just a bit
One of my passions (if not the overriding passion is food). I love trying new things and when I have the pennies often try pickles or jams that are different and if I like them, I either look around for a similar recipe,and sometimes if I have the time I experiment and try to recreate the preserve myself sometimes it is a success sometimes its abysmal, but you need the failures to appreciate the successes. I also love cookery books and last September bought a book called Gifts from the Kitchen by Annie Rigg. It cost me £15 from Waitrose and it took me weeks at 50 pence a week to save up for. I was therefore not very impressed when I found the book for £5 in a cheapie book store in town and then latterly found it on The Book People for the same price. Some you win some you loose. However it is a lovely book and has lots of interesting ideas for home made foodie gifts. It has lots of interesting recipes which are split up into seasons...
