Hi
Welcome to Crafty Cookies Kitchen blog.
I am 50 and not a chef but a keen cook and have been for 40 years.
All the modern day recipies have been tried and tested by me and are structured to my tastes, taste being a personal choice it is up to you to add or take away ingredients except in standard recipes for pastry and sponges which are scientifically devised.
Along with cookery my interests include gardening, knitting, reading and genealagy which has led to my interest in the food which my earlier relatives ate down the centuries. I have seperated the 2 blogs now please have a look at http://www.oldeworldekitchen.wordpress.com/ Any comments please do let me know.
I love to eat by the seasons, so I am devising a seasonal produce section and love to buy some of my food from local farms and farmers markets, here I need help if you know of any reputable farms or markets please do let me know and I will include them.
Please note that all of the cooking times are approximate only, variables will always have to be factored in ie. the heat of the kitchen, the shelf, the amount of foodstuff being cooked, etc. No two ovens are the same so the temperature will vary slightly form oven to oven.
All the eggs used are medium sized unless otherwise stated.
All the spoon measurements are level unless stated.
If you have any comments, please do let me know.
Many thanks for reading this blog and I do hope that you will come back from time to time.
Happy Cooking
Crafty Cookie
