@neilh & @Carer - thanks for that. awesome to sit, watch and marvel at. @Andysport - apparently not recommended for eating. though in nz we had "muttonbirds" - also a seabird, related to a cormorant. quite a palaver to prepare ..... mind you, you might have seen my recipes online for them?
@Andysport - thought you might like that one @Nelson - and i liked that one!! lol
A compandre of mine is Chef de Cuisine in a new restaurant about to open in Bloomington, Illonois, USA, featuring Greek Cuisine. A bit of a drive for lunch I know ;-) But they have just featured on TV over there, with a brief cooking lesson. So if you want to learn from two of the best, producing a modern take on lemon drop soup and filo pastry dumplings follow the link below ...
@neilh - nice one! that is brilliant :-) A man after my own heart, I love food related literature ..... Poems and fictional novels.

Library has wi-fi and the signal can be picked up from the cafe across the road. Normal login required, so you will have to join the library
Might be a nice permanent feature on the front page if possible?
@ZIGGY - my guests certainly loved them and have left with a "doggy bag" along with some of the home made jam :-) As with most things it's all about, practice, practice, practice & experience. As I always tell my trainees, as they often swear I am using a different recipe or doing something "extra" that I wasn't sharing with them! (and I mean for any recipe) ..... "for every stage in any ...
