Welcome

Reaching the final of Masterchef 2007 was a rollercoaster of emotion, with huge highs and lows, but I loved every minute and learnt a huge amount. I owe a great deal to John and Gregg who had faith in my ability when I did not believe in myself. Since competing on the programme my life has changed considerably. I now write cookery columns for two magazines, give cookery demonstrations and am just working on my 13th cook book - unlucky number for some but not for me!!! I love all forms of country cooking, using seasonal and locally sourced produce. This blog is to enable me to share with you a few of my recipes and baking ideas. Enjoy Hannah xxxx

Hinwick House was a stunning backdrop for Friday evening and really set the mood for the dinner which, I am pleased to say, went really well! No panics, everything on time, empty plates returned to the kitchen! It made me realise that a lot of the pressure on Masterchef was the cameras and not being in control of the situations we were in. Although it was completely exhausting, I really enjoyed the buzz of cooking for lots of people again and am proud that I didn't even panic once! Thank you all for your kind wishes of support - very much appreciated!

Looking at the full-size image "stunning backdrop" almost seems somewhat understated. Congratulations on triumphing in such spectacular surroundings!

Aaah, well done Hannah, was wondering how you got on over the weekend. I knew you would do it!

I've been presenting to over 600 people this weekend at a food festival, cooking up a storm and having a laugh. Not quite the same pressure of course! The only thing that went wrong were the electrics going on my 1st presentation. So I told jokes for 10 minutes which was almost enough to turn the crowd away! Keep up the work, never lose the dream.

Cheers
