About
I am a Teddy Bear artist and also a collector of Teddy Bears and other critters. I love baking and cooking.
I was lucky to have two grannies who both loved baking and cooking. Both grannies had those old black Dover stoves in the kitchen.
I have memories of golden brown ginger biscuits, rusks and vanilla biscuits...
The good old days.

Duck and Cherry pie
Sat 18 Jul 2009GENERAL BLOG
I served the duck and cherry pie with jasmine rice. I added 2 pieces of orange skin to the rice while it was boiling.
My husband says this was one of the best meals I ever cooked. I love the taste of duck and cherries.

We changed our old barbecue into a new fireplace & barbecue in one. We used it last night for the first time. It is great to have a barbecue and afterwards to just relax at the warn fire.

Healthy raisin & nut rusks
Mon 29 Jun 2009GENERAL BLOG
I was looking for a healthy rusk recipe with limited success. Sunday morning I decided to use my imagination and added the things I enjoy to create my own rusks. It came out wonderful and I will have to make more.
