My food and cooking lenses

This lensography creates a focal point for the food-related lenses I have created on Squidoo. Since they form the majority of my lenses so far, it seems not a moment too soon!

I've also been reading a lot about the advantages of multiple lensographies. On my main lensography it is no longer possible to list all of my lenses in one featured lens module and it was getting very long.

My food lensography is not just a recipe collection. You'll find a food quiz, cookbook reviews and a lens about one of my favourite cooking shows on UK TV. The recipes are real and complete. I rarely resort to using convenience foods but where I do - in the cheats version of kedgeree for example - I make it clear. No boxes of cake mix and few cans invade my kitchen cupboards. Almost all vegetables used in my recipes are fresh and not frozen. This is the way I was brought up to cook, taught by a mother and two grandmothers who didn't have the choice of convenience foods. In that respect, my love of good food is a tribute to them.

Thanks Mum, thanks Nanna Bellham and Nanna Lambert and also my aunts Daphne, Ruby and Pearl who made Sunday teatime and their Christmas tables a bit of a competition - you are all a very hard act to follow.
