british cooking
at its best
by Diana
Serbe
She sent a recipe at the same
time that she signed up for membership on the site. At the time, we
were researching and testing pot pies
(see Four and Twenty Blackbirds). We were up to our ears in that
tasty British pastry and this Englishwoman sent us a recipe for a Hot
Pot which is a similar dish, but without the pastries (or the calories
therin). We tried it. It was light and clean, and added another dimension
to our article.
We've gotten to know Isobel,
and to enjoy her style of communicating. Without notice or fanfare,
she'll send a recipe saying that she was experimenting, that this recipe
turned out well. We look forward to the recipes, for our own palates,
as well as our members because her food is nutrition oriented, but always
savory. We don't call it 'health food,' but it qualifies.We know a lot about a cook if
we look at their recipes. Isobel's recipes are bright and eager, just
like the face that smiles at us from this page. They are intelligent
recipes, not given to excess or unnecessary embellishment. We've put
them on the site and in our personal repertoires as well.Isobel lives in Merrie Olde
England with her husband, John, and his son, Alex who is nine. While
we hope she gets a break from the kitchen, we hope she never stops cooking.Try Isobel's recipes listed
on the left. You can also read her article about her food philosophy
clarity and simplicity and her moving, loving tribute to her mum, my
mother, my teacher.
