Home made or nothing (same goes in our house, except in emergencies!)<br /><br />There are far too many nasties in modern food and I try and avoid as many as possible, reading all the ingredients in the tiniest print to make sure I am not buying anything untoward. And of course, when you eat Proper Home-cooked Food, anything boughten tastes horrid!Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-37580584426847684742014-10-05T01:19:22.006-07:002014-10-05T01:19:22.006-07:00Oh Cro - I still use Elizabeth David's Mediter...Oh Cro - I still use Elizabeth David's Mediterranean Cookery when I feel like making something special - it is my bible.<br /><br />Thanks to all of you for looking in.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-50503067704500075842014-10-04T20:58:23.397-07:002014-10-04T20:58:23.397-07:00The acorns are dropping here by the thousand; I do...The acorns are dropping here by the thousand; I don't remember a year like it.<br /><br />My mother too was a good plain cook until she discovered Elizabeth David's 'Mediterranean Cookery'.
