Coming Summer 2017: The Sunshine Girls
I am completely thrilled to announce my new book, The Sunshine Girls. I started this book last year, then abandoned it for a while, unsure of where it was going. Earlier this year I went back to it, pleasantly surprised at it being much better than I remembered. I rewrote what I had, and hunkered […]

Carry-on luggage
I am just back from a trip which was supposed to be with my husband, except it turned out it was on a weekend during which he had planned to visit eldest daughter at University, and so I decided to bring one of my best friends, aka my gay husband, instead. I was ever so slightly nervous, because […]

The summer of over-indulgence
It has been the summer of over-indulgence, and although I am perfectly happy floating around in diaphanous flowing tents and kaftans, Autumn is coming which means my jeans are eyeing me nervously from their position in the corner of my closet. I am pretending I don’t see them, as I pull on yet another elastic-waisted […]

Cauliflower and Parmigiano Soup with Truffle Oil
RECIPE FROM GOOD TASTE. Order now. This soup was a happy mistake. It came from one of those nights where I didn’t seem to have anything in the fridge other than a head of cauliflower that was well on its way to becoming inedible, a packet of pancetta and some stale parmesan. I do always […]
