Hi all. If you have noticed (LOL) i haven't been here lately and i just wanted to let you know why.
I am writing a Cookbook and it's taking up all of my free time. It all started with me wanting to leave a legacy of all the dishes i have accumulated from my mother, friends and my travels abroad. Many are recipes that i have adapted or invented as well as variations on known recipes. For years my daughters have been asking for my recipes but i have never wanted to give them up as i like all the praise and the compliments on my cooking. If i give them up then everyone will get the praise..lol. However, i am getting on in years and have decided that i won't hang on to the recipes any longer, hence the book. Everything in the book, i have cooked and the photos are my own, taken after cooking/baking. I haven't had time to copyright the pics yet but here are a few samples
Lemon and lime cheesecake
Blackforest cake
Moroccan TaLamb Tagine with cous cous
Samosa
I am also lookng for an appropriate name for the book if anyone has any suggestions

Well i have cooked so much i am now getting fed up Hubby and daughters beg me to stop giving them food so i am taking a break from the cooking and am starting to format the book which so far will have 25 pages. Writing all the recipies and instructions is a pain!! I am seriously wondering if it will really be ready by Xmas. Thanks for the suggestions sally and selina I have decided the book will be called "International Flavours" see the book cover and tell me what you think

Here are some of my latest Chicken Jal Frezi Lamb and feta cheese meatballs
Shami Kebab
I have about 80 Family recipies and still going....lol Now i have had to dig out the ones i have only made a few times over 40 years. :I know:Problem is getting someone to eat them so that i can take photos and its costing me a fortune The family are begging me to stop feeding them so much, now they dont come as often and i think its because they dont want MORE food!!!

Its nice to see you back lillian,i was wondering what happened to you .I am still thinking of a name but i suppose the boring well used name would be " A world of Family Favourites" since there are recipies from about 5 countries.
Deanne..............i bet you wouldnt say that if you were piling on the lbs
Hi Chris..............speak to you soon!!
