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

Happy Christmas One and All. I hope that you are all having a very festive day with friends, family and loved ones. The snow has caused a few problems for us over the last few weeks in the UK - Sadly my brother should be here with us today with his wife Amy and they are stuck in New York as their flight was cancelled due to the snow - we miss them very very much. Secondly we have had no internet for nearly two weeks - naughty snow. It is such a relief to be at my Mums and online again! Anyway, despite my brother not being here we have had a lovely morning - lots of chocolate and our traditional bacon sandwiches and bucks fizz. I must have been good this year as Santa bought me lots of lovely presents. I have just given my Mum her Christmas present - a 12 days of Christmas sampler although I have given her so many samplers already that there very little wall space left in her house! I must remember this next year! This is a long thin one which I stitched in 3 weeks (a record stitching session as I had very little time with all the gluten free baking - I have never ever stitched so much so fast!) I think I may have to stitch one for myself next! Hope you all have a very special day and stay warm xxxx

Hello Hannah
The sampler is beautiful--do you make these and sell them??
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Hi Hannah. I was just thinking of you and wanted to stop in. The sampler is exquisite! I'm so sorry your brother couldn't make it but Merry Christmas!
Lovely gift!
What a lovely sampler! Is it from a kit pattern? If so, may I be very cheeky and ask the name/pattern, please? I'd love to make one for my mother (and one for myself too!) TIA.
Hi All
Thanks for the lovely comments. English Rose - this is a chart and threadpack from Victoria Sampler - a canadian company. They are available in the US on www.stitchingbitsandbobs.com or the UK at www.sewandso.co.uk
Happy Stitching!
Hannah
