Recipes

:: Tending the pot-plants on an overcast Monday evening.

:: Our resident teenager moved into an apartment with her friends on the weekend. She's been living with us since January 2014, so it's a big change in our house. I am excited for her, moving into the heart of the city and setting up her own place. We made her this book, with recipes of food we've been eating and making together. Lots of everyday stuff like muesli, scones, bread and pastry, but also some of her favourite vegetarian dishes, hand-written and decorated with watercolour paint. With lots of blank pages for her future cooking adventures. Goodbye, Becky!

I enjoyed my 'two scenes' challenge last week. I just failed over the last couple of days, due to some unforgiving work deadlines. But it was so nice to get back into the habit of taking pictures and writing a few lines each day. Thanks for joining me here.

    I love the cookery book, what a fabulous leaving home present idea. I made sure when my daughter moved out that she was confident to cook all the meals she enjoyed, it never occurred to me to write them down for her.

    What a great gift for someone starting out in their own place! Something personal, that holds skills and memories…a treasure.
