Although not normally known for brevity, just a little one for you today. Call it a nibblet (is that I sigh of relief I heard from somewhere in the back there?).

But there is plenty to come over the next few days, so fear not.

Yesterday was day one of ‘Mission Top Secret’ which I can’t talk about but might (or might not…) involve a cookbook that I might (or might not…) be writing with two rather fantastic chefs. More to follow.

I’m off to London in about an hour to sample some genuine British buffalo mozzarella made by former F1 world champion Jody Sheckter who has since swapped his Ferrari for a tractor and turned to organic and bio-diverse farming. Very exciting indeed. I shall report back.

In the mean time how about some homework? A while back I was given this book, My Last Supper by Melanie Dunea in which she photographs and interviews fifty of the world’s top chefs about what they would chose for their, you guessed it, last supper.

In preparation for a similarly themed post, what would you chose for your last meal on earth? Who would cook it for you? And who would you like to accompany you whilst you munch through the final morsels? I’d love to know what you’d pick so get in touch to help make this a fun and truly global feature.

Need some inspiration? You can watch Charlie Rose interview Melanie along with Eric Ripert, Wylie Dufresne, Tom Aikens and Marcus Samuelsson about their last suppers here, or just here:

Also, I know there was no Friday Nibble last week, I got a little sidetracked. This week’s will more than make up for it and will even include a killer recipe for cassoulet (that should offer some clue as to the featured item).

A bientot!

Things have been hectic lately. I had so many hits the other day that I went over the hourly transfer limit for 2 small text files I was storing on some free Yahoo hosting. Problem was, those files dictated the layout and look of my site. It’s happened before so I got fed up and bought my own hosting. In the process, I’ve also converted from Blogger to a self-run Wordpress site. For all you Bloggers out there, Wordpress is far superior to Blogger.

There will be a lot of changes coming up, but I hope you like the new design. It’s still a work in progress. It looks awful in Internet Explorer 6.0 and below, but Firefox and Internet Explorer 7.0 work great. The pumpkin recipes are coming soon, I promise, but I need to fix a few things first. Take a few moments to look around and see how you like the new site. I’d love to hear any comments/problems/suggestions on the new layout. There is much more customization potential now so let me know of any features or usability tweaks you can think of. By the way, check out the cool new Categories box in the menu on the right…
