Antonio's not too bad. To digress, I have Elizabeth David's Italian Cookbook.
Absolutely fantastic. A must have for the well read cook.
Yeah, I have heard some of my friends drooling over Nick Nairn (although some
just want him for the accent) and Jamie Oliver.

Mumsy...Mumsy... Humph! I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm upset ":)
To think about it, I think it's Delia's accent that does it for me...
Ooo, I'd forgot about Nigella. Yup, you're right, I have a picture of Nigella
on the cover of Food Illustrated (about 1-2 issues ago). Total Babe (Beautiful

Oh, by the way, congratulations on the good news....
Drakey, dreaming of spoon-feeding duck confit & creme brulee (with rhubarb) to
Nigella on some wind-swept hill in the Dordogne somewhere...

mean who'd publish me, having no sex appeal and all that... ":)~
