Thankyou for your help.
Hi enjoyed reading your blog – wanted to cook Jamie’s leek pasta but can’t find the recipe online
Do u remember what he cooked the leeks in??
Have allthe other ingredients ready to go
Thanks
Hi Sally
I think it was 1/2 glass white wine and some stock, don’t think it was much otherwise the leeks would have been watery because I don’t remember him draining them?

Congratulations on your attractive blog. I agree with your comments on C.J. Sansom’s ‘Dark Fire’. A rattling good yarn AND (mostly) historically accurate. This is the 2nd Shardlake book. The 1st book ‘Dissolution’ is shorter & only has one plotline – an Agatha-Christie-style ‘locked room’ murder – and Sansom introduces you to the dark side of Thomas Cromwell & to the historical background generally, Best wishes Steve K
Found you as you came on my site by one of those link things that come on top of the comments, (yes I go on a bit), nice site.
I enjoy reading your blog I look forward to it every evening .
Thank you
Love the new header !
Hello Mrs Lacer,
I am a new blogster, don’t know too much, but want to learn fast. Stumbled on WordPress just two or three days back and it was an epiphany, truly. But I need hard information, if you can help:
WordPress is not that great at creating photo galleries, so it seems that one should use a third party for that, such as you appear to do. Can you tell me anything useful about your photo plug-in or whatever it is? And what are these widgets, and why should I know about them?
Many thanks in advance, and I feel, intuitively, that you are a wonderful mum.
Good night,
Aurick
Hi Aurick
Most of the time I use WordPress for posting images, I think I’ve occasionally used Flickr but that’s about it. As for doing a gallery, upload as many photos as you want to WordPress using the add media button (you can download more than one photo at once, just ctrl click each file you want in the which file box), then once you’ve uploaded them all you’ll see an option at the bottom saying add gallery or something like. Click that, it won’t look like much on the post editing page but if you go to page preview, you should see that your photos are up there.
Hope that helps!

Hi
I’ve recently stumbled upon your blog and just want to say how great I think it is. Your interests seem to be pretty similar to mine! I’m a 30 something cookery book junkie currently exiled in Australia without my cookbooks so your postings on the new Nigel Slater show have made me a bit homesick! Does he have a new book out as well? (I’m a bit out of touch on what’s going on in the UK) Might be one for the Christmas list methinks…
Keep writing
Georgina
Hi Georgina
Thank you
Re: any new Nigel Slater books coming up, I don’t think he’s got one directly related to the series , although you can download a recipe booklet from him for the digin campaign here http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/digin/recipe_booklet.pdf and find recipes from the series here http://www.bbc.co.uk/digin/nigelslater.shtml. With his latest series it’s been about not really following recipes, so it’d have been a bit cheeky of him publishing a book full of them! However he does have a new book out, first of a series by the looks of things Tender v.1: A Cook and His Vegetable Patch ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tender-Cook-His-Vegetable-Patch/dp/0007248490/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1253169846&sr=8-1 – click on the link for videos!), he’s also got one about fruit coming out in May next year ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tender-Cooks-Guide-Fruit-Garden/dp/0007325215/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1253170333&sr=1-7 )
Thanks!
