Having relocated to Australia earlier this year,I felt compelled to attempt to bake the nations favourite cake...especially as the family are rather partial to them. I made larger ones (fifteen to be precise) and was glad that I did,as coating the little devils was not that easy and exceedingly messy-and smaller ones would have been that much trickier. Nevertheless,it's worth it-half of them are gone already,and the children have given their seal of approval...that makes them winners in our house!

Well..about me! I'm married, I have 2 kids (both boys), and I live in Australia.
I have loved cooking for as long as I can remember, and have become completely addicted to browsing through Zaar looking for new recipes!
I have a small animal shelter for rabbits and guinea pigs, and spend most of my time looking after kids or critters!.
My favourite cookbooks are The Essential Pasta Cookbook, The Central Cookery Book, Flo Bjielkie-Peterson's Country Cookbook, and Greek Cooking (I bought that one in Greece, and it's FANTASTIC). At the minute, we are getting ready to move, which is forcing me to sort through my recipe cabinet. I have been trying out all those recipes that are scribbled on pieces of paper, or torn from magazines, so I can decide ifthey are keepers or not. So far I've found a lot of keepers, and will work at posting them on here.
I'm passionate about a lot of things, mainly my kids, animals, and cooking.
I won't even start on my peeves, we'll be here all night! lol
