Butter: The type of butter is specified where it is critical.
Citrus fruit: If you’re using the zest of oranges and lemons, buy unwaxed fruit. If you can’t find this, wash the fruit in hot water before use.
Eggs: These are medium size unless specified otherwise. I use free-range eggs.
Poultry: I buy free-range wherever possible.
Salt and pepper: Generally I use sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper; sometimes white pepper is more appropriate and a finer or coarser grade of salt is required, and the recipe will tell you this.
Spoon measures: All spoon measures are level unless otherwise stated.
Home has always been the most important place in my life – from my earliest childhood memories when home was the farm I lived on with my parents, brothers and sister, right up to today when home is where Gordon, the kids and I retreat to from the chaos of our busy lives. Even the word ‘home’ conjures up so many emotions for me – happiness, love, security; it’s my haven from the world outside.
When I was growing up in the country, life seemed much simpler than it does today. On non-school days my brothers, sister and I would leave the house early in the morning and run around the fields, making camps amongst the hay bales and only returning home when we were hungry. My children don’t have such freedom to roam in the modern city, but, just as we were, they are out at school and other activities from early in the morning and really active from dawn to dusk. And as they get older, life seems to get even busier.
