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

Whilst I have been cooking, Sacha has continued with our woodland clearance project and has done an amazing job. It is clear enough now that we have a gardener coming in early September to plant woodland grass seed and lots of bulbs - I can't believe that very soon it will feel like a proper part of our garden. We have invested in two hammocks - strung on adjoining trees they make a perfect spot for relaxing and were money very well spent! With both of us lying there it feels as it we are pirates sleeping on a ship (OK sometimes my imagination runs away with me I know!). I am convinced that it would be a good idea to sleep outdoors in them although I am yet to persuade Sacha. There is a lovely view over head of trees and sky and I could happily spend hours and hours gazing up.

Hannah, there is no more beautiful feeling on earth than being able to relax in a hammock, and look up through the canopy of trees overhead to a wonderful summertime sky!!! Lucky you! I think your garden will be so breathtakingly beautiful next spring when all the bulbs are coming up. How wonderful!

Oh this is lovely Hannah! I can just imagine how wonderful it will be in the Spring with the flowers and the new leaves coming out.

That is going to be such a wonderful oasis for relaxation. BTW, I loved your recipe for the roast pork!!!! Yum-o. I love visiting your site.

I am very impressed, and not a little envious. Clearing our own Fangorn Forest is taking rather longer (grin).
