Favourite things

 
 My favourite things right now (Feb 2016) - rainbow summer veg!
All lists in alphabetical order. I like order.
Kitchen things
I love all the things in my kitchen – my measuring cups that look like miniature pastel mixing bowls; my marble rolling pin, my big red Le Creuset and my single-girl mini frypans - but I especially love using my wooden spoons and wearing my aprons. Wearing an apron means ‘it’s time to cook’ and using a wooden spoon is so much lovelier than metal or plastic ones.
Blogs
These are largely food and gardening sites I love reading and being inspired by. You may enjoy them too. Updated Feb 2016.

Books
I don’t buy many cookbooks, mainly due to their cost. I’m a big supporter of my local library, as it gets new releases pretty quickly (just join the waiting list). Then I photocopy like mad. But some of my favourites that either I do own, or have borrowed so many times I should own, are:

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall: ‘River Cottage Veg Every Day!’

Nigella Lawson: ‘How to Be a Domestic Goddess’ (‘How to Eat’ is fabulous, too)

Martha Stewart: ‘Pies and Tarts’

Nigel Slater: ‘Kitchen Diaries’
And just about anything by the Australian Women’s Weekly. Hopefully one day I’ll get mum’s collection.

Finally, if not a favourite thing as such, this will always be a 'wow!' moment: Dig In is mentioned in a printed magazine!

  1. I absolutely agree with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall: ‘River Cottage Veg Every Day!’
    I don't buy many cookery books due to the cost - I love my local library - but I wouldn't be without this cook book in my kitchen. I was lucky to receive a book voucher and snapped up Hugh's book.

Word-verification is on, as the robot-spammers are loving my tuna past bake too much at the moment! I hope you understand - and I hope you'll still leave a comment at Dig In. I love hearing your thoughts, knowing someone is reading, and will always reply. Unless you're a robot-spammer.
