FAMILY ALBUM by Penelope Lively
Book Quote: “The kitchen was the heartland of Allersmead. Of course. That is so in any well-adjusted family home, and Allersmead was a shrine to family. The kitchen was huge; once, some Edwardian cook would have presided here, serving up Sunday roast to some prosperous Edwardian group. Now there was – no, not an Aga but a big battered old gas cooker, a dresser cluttered with plates, cups, mugs, a scrubbed table that would seat a dozen. There were children’s drawings still tucked behind the crockery on the dresser, a painted papier-mâché tiger on a shelf, alongside a row of indeterminate clay animals that someone made earlier. There were named mugs slung from hooks: Paul, Gina, Sandra, Katie, Roger, Clare.” Book Review…

The Food Hunter talks with award-wi...Last week I did a video interview with registered dietitian and award-winning cookbook author Jackie Newgent; on ways to spice up ordinary food. I'm always looking for new and exciting things to do with food and still retain their nutritional values. So I jumped on this wonderful opportunity. In the video Jackie gives some good healthy tips like: using turkey instead of beef to make burgers and mixing in red bell peppers for added taste. Somehow when reading the initial offer I totally missed the part about the video being sponsored by Hellman's Mayonnaise. To be honest...I have nothing against mayonnaise..I eat it...not often but when the situation is right I'm ok with it. I believe in the whole "everything in moderation" theory. A little mayonnaise is not going to kill you but do I believe in mayonnaise being "good for us". No, not really. That being said take a look at this quick video interview with Jackie Newgent and then make your own decision on what role mayonnaise plays in your life.
