I haven't been blogging about baking or food for a while. I didn't mention anything about Christmas, the 6kg turkey, the first time I made cranberry sauce (divine - and I'll never go back to jars) or indeed the fabulous and succulent christmas pudding. I even made for the very first time a cranberry upside down cake from Rachel Allen's - Bake.
I've been busy. busy campaigning, trying to save our local library from possible closure. Why do I love the library? I love all libraries. They helped teach me to read, to communicate and ultimately to explore. Not just in the physical or travel sense - but in my mind. I've learnt so much from books - that have come from libraries. But its important to remember that libraries are not just about books. So many weekends growing up in Devonport, I would borrow albums from the Don College library - the latest muscial score (Phantom, Starlight Express - you name it). Later there were videos or DVD''s.
So this is why the blog has been silent. It's about to get going again - and all thanks to the library. More in the next entry.
Smith's Kitchen is about the love of food, especially cakes, bakes and other tasty treats. Always on the hunt for great coffee and campaigning for real bread, I will be posting recipes and reviews from around the world.
