gosh yes. Allison I did Mushrooms a la Greque the other day, and though the family weren't all that keen, I am going to do them again just for me. So tasty ! And I haven't had artichoke hearts in a while, I love them, so will seek them out on sunday…. more treats, love the texture of them

I hear you on the shop displays. At a hotel buffet I always have a peek at the puddings just for the colours and display. DH doesn't understand, he says, you wont touch them, so why ?? But they are pretty ! and I don't desire them. Sometimes they also hide something very friendly on the table, like walnuts often, that I like on a salad

I also really enjoy certain cooking programmes on the tv. Sometimes they do give me a RR friendly idea, but I watch them for the art and the personalities of the contestants. There's an Australian one I am particularly fond of, it goes on for weeks so you sort of get to know everyone, and the presenters are kind, so its very feel - good
