I love to cook the vegies i have grown. I love it when nearly everything on the table is from the garden. I love to cook Indian food - especially curries as they are delicious and i can cook them through the day before the chaos of the evening, I love to cook lebanese - felafels, homous, tabouli. I love to cook granola, anzac biscuits, hot chocolate self saucing puddings, apple crumbe...i love food, i like to be healthy too and so i love to cook. Thanks for all your very varied recipes and interesting anecdotes about family life. I usually relate to all you say....i really do look forward to your every post.

I love it from the moment I pick a big bunch of spinach from the markets and carry it home like a bunch of flowers!

I hope it continues for many more years to come. <br /><br />My favourite thing to cook at the moment is cinnamon scrolls. The recipe is from an Amish cook book and makes delicious sticky scrolls. The first time I had them was at Christmas a few years ago and my partners sister made them for brunch. Sooo yummy warmed with butter.

I think it's great that you found your voice, but more importantly your voice was something people wanted to listen to. Well done<br /><br />My daughter and I have My Grandma's Kitchen and we just love it (the pikelets are fun, easy and yummy to make). I spotted their latest cook book a few weeks ago and it is on my 'to buy' list.<br /><br />Amongst my family and friends I am well known for making very naughty, decadent desserts. I actually don't have one favourite but here is my top 6:<br /><br />Chocolate Ricotta Cake<br />Chocolate Mousse and Hazelnut Tart<br />Rocky Road<br />Raspberry and Malteaser Ice cream<br />Banana and Caramel Meringue Torte<br />Chai CheesecakeJackiehttp://www.mylittlebookcase.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315813441386653699.post-29387453166070227232012-04-25T19:12:00.319+10:002012-04-25T19:12:00.319+10:00Happy blog birthday!

And I'm loving seeing your name pop up on various sites and online mags with your wonderful work - I'm a big fan.<br /><br />Great guest post from Pip :)<br /><br />My favourite thing to cook is, well, anything sweet. I just can't go past licking that bowl (or giving it to my little girl to lick) and smelling the sweet aromas fill the house.

My favourite things to cook is three things. There is a breakfast that we had down the coast and I love copying this and adding our own touches. It is in little pots with beans, tomato, chorizo and eggs on top with herbs, served with sour dough grilled toast and the family always enjoys this. Secondly is the cake, my mum used to cook date loaf, I love doing this as it instantly transports me back to her kitchen and when I was young getting the bowl when she was finished, It was a beautiful glass bowl and so special. My dad always used to cut the cake too soon when it was still hot and oh so good. The smells remind me of them. Last one is making a simple golden syrup pudding with my girl. Cooking has not been her strong suit (eating is though lol) and to see her working so hard to get this right and watching us all enjoy it makes her smile even more.Blonde One (Deb)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12726294348890346575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315813441386653699.post-64928353956296906682012-04-25T14:56:07.156+10:002012-04-25T14:56:07.156+10:00Hi there, I love to cook bread, it is my favourite...Hi there, I love to cook bread, it is my favourite thing in the whole world to make. I have recently made my own starter, freecycled my breadmaker, and now I make my own sourdough bread each day from scratch. It is really very very easy, and the time is in the resting, but it tastes how real bread should, not the stuff that is sold in the supermarkets. I have five children too, and it is all about priorities, and baking bread smells just lovely too!!!!Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09344034139876736176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315813441386653699.post-13955902860088854992012-04-25T14:30:50.699+10:002012-04-25T14:30:50.699+10:00Happy bloggy birthday Ruth!

And I like that. <br /><br />Thank you Ruth for all your inspiration and amazing recipes!<br /><br />xx jjodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13205159281866934702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315813441386653699.post-61254760810492701422012-04-25T11:39:02.952+10:002012-04-25T11:39:02.952+10:00Happy birthday lovely lady!

Personally, I like to save up your posts for the after school/kinder morning hullabaloo, till my coffee is freshly ground, till a sense of peace has been restored....then i sit down, log on, pure bliss...sometimes I might even save you for special wine times....in response to what is my favourite thing to cook - to me its not about a single recipe (too hard - whats my favourite song? also too hard) for me its what cooking does for me - not only does it soothe my soul (which is sometimes very un-zen with a house full of boys - you know that tsunami ride), but its filling bellies, providing for my family, my friends, sometimes even strangers, that blows my hair back. I feed people, I feel complete. Cooking for me nourishes not only the empty bellies in my house, but it helps nourish me. Fill the bowl, fill the soul. Happy days wished to you and yours xoxoWhitneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315813441386653699.post-40288468301550735532012-04-25T09:04:26.412+10:002012-04-25T09:04:26.412+10:00happy blog birthday & thanks for sharing xx

I love to cook biscuits with my two year old. It is amazing how much fun just pouring in flour or cracking an egg can be at that age!

How to bring the humble bean or lentil into the realm of The Gourmet, that's my agenda. :-)<br /><br />Pip, wonderful post. Yes one can never have too many girlfriends.

In fact there are a lot of resemblances - feisty, funny, smart, got a real way with words, love to dance and sing,full of imagination, unafraid to state your ideas and to try new things. Most of all though there is exactly the same extraordinary capacity to invite people to share with you and to join with them wholeheartedly in exploring what you enjoy. And of course there were always clogs! So proud of you.xxjomahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16959089600600553833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315813441386653699.post-33962178078408191432012-04-24T21:34:04.726+10:002012-04-24T21:34:04.726+10:00Ive been with you throughout the journey and you b...Ive been with you throughout the journey and you bring sanity and inspiration into my life (together with a more than healthy dose of reminders to be nicer and more in awe of my family).

Ask me anytime of the day what my favourite thing to cook is and it will change according to the day, the ingredients in my fridge, the market I have visited, the blog I have been inspired by (and it is so often yours - my god the first time I made your ricotta gnocchi we all almost died with joy). Today my favourite thing to cook is lamb shanks because they have been simmering away all day in the oven warming the house on a day the temp didn't get higher than the temp it reached at 8am. Overnight the pot will go into the fridge to be ready for friends, laughter, red wine and music for a late lunch tomorrow afternoon.<br /><br />Bless you and your lovely blog, insights into family and recipes which have never failed me.<br /><br />Carolcarol : @perennialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06277907783145360030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315813441386653699.post-40336279308890861882012-04-24T18:42:49.603+10:002012-04-24T18:42:49.603+10:00Congrats to a fabulous and gorgeous blogger on the...Congrats to a fabulous and gorgeous blogger on the 2nd birthday of a constantly evolving and wonderful blog <br />Must say, I feel a little sense of pride in having been along for the ride since day one! <br />Yay to us and to finding fabulous IRL friends on the the amazing interwebesphere.Bang and Whimperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01488642623403197312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315813441386653699.post-35082573888615098382012-04-24T18:38:30.744+10:002012-04-24T18:38:30.744+10:00I LOVE to cook Japanese dumplings!!!
