Annabel Langbein: The Free Range Cook!

Ever heard of Annabel Langbein? No? Well neither had I up until a few months ago.  While I was cooking away in the kitchen with Good Food channel on in the background, a soft New Zealand accent came from the tellybox and I was intrigued.  I sat down and watched the entire program and that was all it took for me to be totally taken in by this free range cook from New Zealand!  The program was full of beautiful scenery and most importantly lots of simple, fresh homecooking. A quick trip to google allowed me to see that she had a new book which I finally have in my hands and I can honestly say it's fantastic.

Bosch Shiny Red Hand Blender Competition!

If you haven't got many kitchen gadgets to your name and you want to start small, a hand blender is one of the best ones to get yourself going.  It was one of the first big kitchen buys I ever made and they really do make life so much easier.  Being a more lightweight appliance I tend to use it more often than the big clunky ones that hide in my presses.  I get a lot of use of mine for smoothies, blending soups, whipping cream and the mini chopper attachment is great to whizz up ingredients for meat marinades!
