If I must choose between healthy and tasty, I go for the second: having only one life to waste, it might as well be a pleasurable one.

Cobnuts have a fresher flavour than any other nut I know of and go very well with autumnal fruit and light cheeses.

There are many reasons I feel at home in the U.K., but if I were asked to pinpoint the moment I knew I'd arrived, it might well be when I realised the British shared my love of fritters.

Healthy is in the eye of the beholder.

The differences between a tart, a pie and a quiche are a blur.

Scamorza, an Italian curd cheese often labelled 'smoked mozzarella,' melts fantastically well.
