weekend reading

As I am not getting around to posting some weekend reading till Sunday, its only fitting that it should be baking related (or is it only me that bakes on a Sunday?!)

Anyway i am featuring a blog by an amazing cook, hostess, mother (take my hat of to you H - don't know how you manage 4 children, 3 schools various animals and a job!!) and baker, who actually lives down the road from me. did she tell me she had started a blog, no dear readers she did not, i had to find it for myself, so today I spread the word!

this really interesting cake made with beetroot can be found here.

Heather writes eggs, cream and honey from her gloucestershire kitchen (it is my dream kitchen - huge, big windows, big table, lovely decor). She is American by birth but has lived in the UK for quite a while and she makes fantastic cakes. not mean and stingy English cakes, but big lush American ones, generous ones!!!



anyway have a read of her blog here, there are lots of bits of family life intermingled with great recipes. enjoy. I am sure she will make you smile as much on line as she does make me smile in person.
