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

Tomorrow I am seeing my friend Tina. It was her birthday whilst we were in France so this evening I have baked her a birthday cake - rose, violet and lavender drizzle cake. I found this little bird in a birdcage a while ago and I knew straight away that she would look lovely on top of a cake - it was just a question of finding the right person to bake it for - Happy Birthday Tina xxx Now the only question that remains is how to transport it to London...!

Lovely cake Hannah! It puts me in mind of a beautiful hat that one might see on a lady in a whimsical children's book! I love it!
