The Foody

With Christmas coming up, (for those that celebrate it) if like me you love to cook, it's useful to have weight, fluid and oven temperature calculators. Heck, I still use a pounds and ounces brass tray scale - straight out of an old corner shop. Remember those?

A handy source of recipes doesn't go amiss either. Years ago I searched for a source of some of Mrs Beetons recipes, and came across The Foody.

It's doesn't have posh video's, its quick to load - important if you have an elderly or slow computer, or you want to access it on a less-than-current mobile phone now and again. Like mine :)

More importantly, it has lots of recipes, from do it yourself Acid Drops to Steak and Kidney Pud.

Compared to overtly commercial sites like Delia-Online or the Blessed Jamie Oliver, I find it a breath of fresh air.

I'm afraid my cooking isn't as good as my sewing and we buy everything

Don't believe you for one minute - after all, I'm sat on some of your work :)

Attention to minute detail, quality materials, and an eye for balance, colour, texture, and those little delicate touches that just give your creations class.

Humbug ma'am. I CAN'T believe you. :) You're John Lewis, not Primark.
