Anne Else, gourmande. I write about the food I love to make and eat, where it comes from, and anything else to do with food that takes my fancy or drives me to drink.

High on hot cross buns
Ali has promised to give me the recipe for her superb hot cross buns, the best I've ever had. This morning I arrived just in time to see all 21 of them come out of the oven, ready for glazing.
What I had for dinner - a real-life list of everyday food
The last of my Sharwood's Tandoori Spice with chicken thighs - you mix it with yoghurt, vinegar, lemon juice and oil to make the marinade, then bake the chicken and serve with rice and salad. Otherwise, classic schnitzel with Austrian potato salad (recipe coming soon), leftover bits of schnitzel with easy tomato pasta sauce with a hint of chili on fettucine. For Frances's 92nd birthday, a gorgeous beef fillet (her shout) with baked grated potato cake (see recipe labels list) and veges, then at her request, classic apple crumble. We're eating up the last scraps tonight.

Auckland food blogger Nom Nom Panda has posted a terrific review of my book. Here's how it ends:
"It reads like a novel, but it is real, touching and insightful. It is an absolute gem, especially if, like me, you are interested in food, New Zealand from an earlier era, exotic faraway lands, and tales of love and sorrow."

Beautiful, aren't they. I'll put the recipe up later today.
