So many recipes, so much good produce, so little time to eat it all. Kes has far, far too many cookbooks. Not that it stops her from buying more. The idea of dinner is one of the few things that motivates her in the mornings. Just to monitor exactly what goes on in her life, she is sharing her food year. Her Significant Other will make regular appearances, but honestly, you do not want to know what he eats for lunch. Never buy a cook book that doesn't have an author.

Preserving and Baking
Every year I try to make a batch of Seville Orange Marmalade. I just think the seville oranges make it superior to all others. I use the River Cafe Green book for it, easy and delicious. They recommend soaking the oranges for up to 48 hours to soften the skins and I really think it helps.
When I went to have some a few days later, I realised I'd given it all away. Never mind, just made some more.
While up in the supermarket getting the sugar I discovered the friand tin. How could I resist. Did you know there's 18 grams of butter per friand. I think that's why they taste so good. I quartered a few strawberries onto them in a futile effort to make them seem more benign on the fat stakes. And I used ground hazelnuts rather than almonds, because I love hazelnuts and berries together.
