641 Cookery: August 2011
http://641cookery.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 16 August 2011. It had been a week of rain and riots and I’d found it hard not to watch the orgy of looting and violence played out on our TV screen each night. All of it appeared senseless so I can only pretend to make sense of what I saw:. But the illness spreads and becomes endemic. It contaminates all sections of society. And diving, diving, diving, diving. Diving down to pick up on every shiny thing. Just like that black crow flying. In a blue sky. But what is this? Like the family whose ho...

641 Cookery: About 641 Cookery
http://641cookery.blogspot.com/p/why-641cookery.html
My blogging-aim is to review cookbooks, either bought for me by my opportunist husband or borrowed from the library, and to test recipes. Food memories will also slip into my posts and here and there I will offer up an often unsentimental nostalgia-trip to a northern working-class childhood where food was treated with respect and due reverence.

641 Cookery: June 2011
http://641cookery.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, 12 June 2011. My mother holds a disliking for the Lake District: all those menacing mountain peaks holding you captive with the occasional escape to overcrowded tea rooms and ridiculously expensive gift shops. Sadly, after our latest holiday - I get a little of what she means. The rain stops and we dress in waterproofs and step into the lane. Faint drops begin and turn into heavy splodges and we take shelter in The Drunken Duck. Until the sun shines. Taken from her book, Nigella. Ambleside in hai...

641 Cookery: December 2010
http://641cookery.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 21 December 2010. But it is rare, extremely. Rare, to rub shoulder pads with anyone quite like John. He must have been in his mid-fifties and I in my mid-thirties when we were introduced – he, as the new Area Sales Manager for the South West, and I, as one of his Sales Administrators. Let me go over just some of the booty brought in by John and why I was such a deserving cause. At 905 the following Monday morning the office telephone rang and as expected John’s voice asked me how well the ...

641 Cookery: Tribute to Audrey
http://641cookery.blogspot.com/p/tribute-to-audrey.html
Audrey’s story must begin with two people very much in love. Edwin Allen married Ethel Travis in September 1924, but they had to wait six long years before their precious baby girl, Audrey, was born on February 8. Audrey was a schoolgirl when war broke out in 1939. She attended St Michael’s school, and although she loved reading and writing, was always pleased when the air raid siren interrupted a particularly tough arithmetic lesson. Nothing seemed to mar Audrey’s happiness in those early years of...

641 Cookery: September 2011
http://641cookery.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Friday, 30 September 2011. We stay in the village of Shilbottle renting one of the holiday cottages owned by Anthony and Crissy Stoker. I hear that every day in anyone’s street or garden. I know but this one belonged to the fiercest of all; a black mean streak who chased a howling Tawny Owl over the lawn and then, hoot-less, into the trees. And so our holiday time incorporates family visits. When we were kids we would walk to the beach at Alnmouth;. Mam would appear at tea-time to bring us home. She look...

641 Cookery: The Humble Potato
http://641cookery.blogspot.com/2011/07/humble-potato.html
Sunday, 31 July 2011. Sit yourself down to dine with the Gradwell kids and learn just what our mother produced from a peeled potato and half a pound of Kilverts'. One of those was a much-loved family favourite. A staple in the Gradwell family diet: Par-ba-fra. What on earth is that? The memory of it is cushioned and sound, like a jewel in safe-keeping. I copied her methods so diligently back then - at 21 I didn’t know you could experiment with recipes. Oh, I don’t know. Perhaps he would see it ...Just re...
