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

I am waiting every day now for our quince crop to be ready. There is quite a good crop this year and plenty enough for quince brandy and quincemeat. They are still covered in the furry coats and as soon as this is gone I will be out picking them!

What a dream to have a quince tree, Hannah! I can't wait for quince season, and I know I'm going to love hearing what you do with yours!
