Jenny Linford “is a freelance food writer, a member of the Guild of Food Writers and author of fifteen books, ranging from cookery books to ingredient guides. I can never in my wildest dreams write anything about Jenny that will do her justice and big up how talented she is, so instead of waffling on about Jenny, i decided to use her own words straight from her website and Linkedin profile. Let me know what egg rating you’d give this months read, and if you’ve any fiction books with ingredients in the title that you think our groups will like to read, send me an email.

I only know that there was a little something too melodramatic in this book for me, but i’ll let you decide for yourself. Why this egg score? To be honest i’m not quite sure. Well i know that if i’d read this before i’d actually read the book, it would have made me go out and get myself a copy, but I’m still only giving the book a 3 1/2 egg rating. Five Quarters of the Orange is a novel of mothers and daughters of the past and the present, of resisting, and succumbing, and an extraordinary work by a masterful writer.” Within the journal's tattered pages lies the key to what actually transpired the summer Framboise was nine years old. And yet as she studies the scrapbook - searching for clues to unlock the contradiction between her mother's sensuous love of food and often cruel demeanour - she begins to recognise a deeper meaning behind Mirabelle's cryptic scribbles. With this book, Framboise re-creates her mother's dishes, which she serves in her small creperie. Nowhere is this truth more apparent than in the scrapbook of recipes she has inherited from her dead mother. Although Framboise hopes for a new beginning she quickly discovers that past and present are inextricably intertwined. “When Framboise Simon returns to a small village on the banks of the Loire, the locals do not recognise her as the daughter of the infamous Mirabelle Dartigen - the woman they still hold responsible for a terrible tragedy that took place during the German occupation decades before. Five Quarters of the Orange represents Harris's most complex and sophisticated work yet - a novel in which darkness and fierce joy come together to create an unforgettable story.” A good start, right ?Īnd about Five Quarters of The Orange Goodreads writes. “ The novels of Joanne Harris are a literary feast for the senses.

What about leftover food? If i’m able, i hope to give ideas as to how to use up any leftovers too.Ĭooking isn’t hard, neither is baking, its all about being brave and being ok with making mistakes

My mum used to say, “Waste not Want not” is that still a saying ?įor me, waste is not just about using up all the ingredients. If i buy ingredients specifically for a recipe, and i only need a small amount of the ingredients, i want to be able to use the rest up and not have to throw them away. There are many things that get under my bonnet and wiggle around, one of those is food waste. Just me, whats happening, and whatever cameras or phone i have to hand. No filters here, (although i’d love to find a filter that can take ten years worth of laugh lines away. This site is about real cooking and baking, real recipes and real mistakes. When I’m not developing recipes for others, writing guest blogs, writing my own blog, or even trying to learn how to paint, I’m usually spending time with the amazing Mr G (my husband) or with my lovely daughter or my lovely son (very proud mum).
