I have finally just watched 'The Marvellous Mrs Beeton, with Sophie Dahl' which the magic box recorded for me a while ago. I found it quite interesting - Sophie Dahl was making many of Mrs B's famous recipes and even got the WI in to do a bit of compare and contrast -the original recipes with some of the more modern versions of them.
She also looked at her life (she had 20 siblings!!!) which was fairly fascinating and the grand finale involved a dinner party which featured a pie with pigeon feet sticking through the pastry...
In other news, I have been progressing slowly with my moss stitch practice piece (in suitable green yarn)...
And when I returned today I was greeted with a batch of recently baked 'Diggers' which are a 'deliciously chewy teatime treat'- a Hairy Bikers recipe (although ours don't contain the coconut as we seem to be all out!) http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/diggers_46052
