Once again, I have to apologise for being an absentee blogger. I’m afraid I have no real excuse – this has just been one of those weeks when I’m wandering around feeling tired a lot (which could not possibly have anything to do with the five Easter services I sang in last weekend). It’s also been a week when I feel like playing with recipes from actual cookbooks, which gives me less to write about.
I do note, with some amusement, that after three days of basically going “meat, meat, must have meat” after Easter, I’ve been cooking vegetarian food again for the last few days. The craving has been satisfied, and I’m reverting back to part-time vegetarianism. This is a bit of a relief – I really was wondering about my carnivorous tendencies for a few days there.
Part of the inspiration for this has been my discovery of the gorgeous new cookbook The Green Kitchen, which I found quite by accident yesterday, and seems to be the cookbook I have been needing for the last few years.




It’s very hot today – in fact, it’s our first really hot day for the season – which is a pity, because I wanted to make red lemonade scones and fruit mince and Christmas Pudding, and also to start perfecting agar jellies. But it really is not the weather for that sort of cooking, so behold! Another book review! And one of great aptness to the weather, as you will see, because it is all about raw food.
