Sophie's Lemonade · Better Together BC →
It has been three year running now that Sophie and I have made a cooking video. We had a lot of fun making lemonade this year. I didn’t do my usual plea for votes as we have won the past two years, and the reward was watching my daughter become an entrepreneur and cook!

WatchI saw this bowing doll in Japan a few years ago, and loved it. It wasn’t for sale as it was holding items for sample tasting, but I would have bought it if I could have. It was fabulous.

My daughter and I would love your vote for our 2011 Hands On, Cook Off contest. There is also a great pie recipe shown in this short video. My daughter is a huge source of inspiration for my cooking, she is truly what makes it worth always putting the effort in to cook real, delicious food.

I was recently asked for a favourite foodie item I’d recommend and before I had time to think, out from my mouth I heard myself say, “Umami Paste.” A friend brought this stylish tube of olives-meet-sundried tomatoes-meet-parmesan-meet-salty deliciousness.

This is my recipe for my niece Sara’s favourite gluten free apricot banana bars. They are also a nice hangover cure, and are making Men’s Health readers everywhere feel better. Sara is now in first year university so I imagine she might need the bar’s restorative properties now too.

Pie in the sky :: Men's Health →
My cottage pie recipe. I grew up with shepherd’s pie, so my first cottage pie was consumed in it’s country or origin, the UK.
