Welcome to my blog. Hopefully this will be an interesting and sometimes amusing diary of the food I like to cook and eat, plus other food related snippets. Thursday, 25 October 2012. I know it's been a long time. Hello, I'm still alive! I've sort of lost a bit of momentum with my blog (huge under-statement! However I am going to throw myself back in and will hopefully post something up within the next couple of days (if anyone is still interested). 25 October 2012 at 21:06. Love, countrymouse xx.

The Ample Cook: January 2010
http://theamplecook.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Welcome to my blog. Hopefully this will be an interesting and sometimes amusing diary of the food I like to cook and eat, plus other food related snippets. Wednesday, 6 January 2010. December is a busy time for me and this year was no exception. Although 'kitchen fatigue' can set in, it doesn't diminish my enthusiasm for cooking our Christmas goodies. I'd already made the Christmas puddings, sloe gin and mincemeat a few months before, so it was time to do the fresh things. Then some cheesy feet! As we we...

Welcome to my blog. Hopefully this will be an interesting and sometimes amusing diary of the food I like to cook and eat, plus other food related snippets. Thursday, 9 September 2010. Theo Randall at The Intercontinental. So, how did we come to find oursleves trolling round Harrod's Christmas decorations in early August? We were keeping out of the rain, that's how. We had already decided to try the pre-theatre menu, which at £23 for 2 courses and £27 for 3, it seemed a great bargain and made ev...Whilst ...

The Ample Cook: August 2010
http://theamplecook.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Welcome to my blog. Hopefully this will be an interesting and sometimes amusing diary of the food I like to cook and eat, plus other food related snippets. Wednesday, 4 August 2010. From pergola to plate. We have had a vine in our garden for about 10 years. It branches out under our pergola, making a lovely shady spot to eat outside when the temperature rises. These were thoroughly washed and boiled for 10 minutes until they were soft, but still whole. We ate the vine leaves with home made tzatziki and r...

http://theamplecook.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Welcome to my blog. Hopefully this will be an interesting and sometimes amusing diary of the food I like to cook and eat, plus other food related snippets. Thursday, 26 November 2009. The Swan, Lavenham, Suffolk. A few weeks ago I got a text from our friends asking if we were free on the 19th November as they were getting married What? Blimey. I must admit, congratulations weren't the first thing on my mind, but more selfishly, was I going to be able to find a new frock in that time? Then it was off to T...

Welcome to my blog. Hopefully this will be an interesting and sometimes amusing diary of the food I like to cook and eat, plus other food related snippets. Sunday, 18 October 2009. Sloes are the fruit of the blackthorn bush. Thorn indeed, the branches are covered in incredibly sharp and vicious ones. When we've finished picking our arms look like we've been self-harming. So why do we do this? Sloe gin of course! So, to do this, first sterilise an elephant's condom. Only joking, it's a jelly bag! It fits ...
