Annabel Karmel is at it again – another new book out this week, this one just made for me – ‘Top 100 Pasta Dishes‘. What did we do in the UK before pasta arrived? You know, that ‘oh, it appears to be 5.30 and I’ve cooked no dinner’ moment – what do we do? Reach [...]
For some strange reason I have had a longing to make one of these for ages. Maybe because the school has FINALLY started up school dinners, and the tales of what-they-ate-today has brought all sorts of memories back (but they have no pink or brown or white custard?
