Am sure you would like Entertaining with Cranks - I was particularly taken with Cranks vegetarian cafe when I first visited the UK and the book has a fine fusty 1970s vego feel but I have since heard that Cranks have now closed.Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-27007618839482706292008-07-09T09:44:00.000+10:002008-07-09T09:44:00.000+10:00I would so love to see the Entertaining with Crank...I would so love to see the Entertaining with Cranks cookbook, it's sounds like great fun.MyKitchenInHalfCupshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07321041059604871286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-47967624135277146442008-07-09T09:17:00.000+10:002008-07-09T09:17:00.000+10:00Amen Johanna!

A client, knowing my love of beetroot has just this morning emailed me a recipe for borscht. Isn't it just perfect food for this wintery weather.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for linking to me and also including the other two pieces of advice.

Never would have thought to include nut roast, but then, I wouldn't usually eat nut roast, unless I have some prompting. <BR/><BR/>The borscht sounds divine.

I know what you mean about shortcuts - grating bores me, but I love mixing cakes by hand and can't understand why people drag out the processor for that (I have to admit that my processor spends a lot more time in its cupboard than outside, though)Lysyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13415024852684873909noreply@blogger.com
