Just wanted to drop you a quick line to 1/ say how lovely it was to see you recently and 2/ inform you that I have just purchased that little cookery book you and Cathy Chino are so fond of, and lo and behold, would you believe it, when I unwrapped it, it mysteriously fell open at page 130
Sticky Marmalade Tea Loaf. Well, that was it, pinny on and away I went.
I left it for Mr Mocha to put in the Aga as I had to dash to meet that nice man off the television, John Craven. We did a spot of filming at the local supermarket, then back to our house for more filming - Sound man, Camera man and Director all in toe. Luckily, I had already made my trademark chocolate cake (apologies Ms Collister, dare I say it, a recipe from my dear old friend Delia) which we all washed down with mugs of hot tea and cafetiere coffee, then on with the filming. We chatted about the carbon footprint of our food, which I am now very well educated about thanks to 'Mike' the expert. Next, a spot of cooking with 'Kale'. I have it on good authority that it used to be fed to cattle, but it was very tasty with chicken and potatoes, even middle Mocha enjoyed it. Alas, tiny Mocha was more interested in his Mario Party on the Wii, than the lights, cameras and other TV paraphernalia taking up my kitchen. So, now we wait with great anticipation for the broadcast of 'Countryfile' on 11th March.
I only pray we don't live to regret it and end up on Harry Hill's TV Burp!
I digress, back to my baking. The loaf was delicious, but my advice would be to have a wet-wipe handy for sticky fingers!
Ta Ta for now
