Today is a very special day indeed! Not only is it the 71st Woman Crush Wednesday episode but it is also the 2nd birthday of this humble blog! As I shared on here way back when on the ABC of YDP, I am not a food photographer or stylist, but I am a chef with lots of LOVE to share. And that is why this WCW series is the perfect way to combine food and infatuation for some deserving females ruling the kitchens! Continue reading
What a day here in London. It’s been pouring rain all day long! But that won’t dampen the Woman Crush Wednesday spirits. Because the 70th WCW honoree needs her day in the sun, even if I have to create it in my own kitchen. But that won’t be hard because today’s recipe is a shining star alright. Thanks to the gorgeous gourmet gal Jenna Zoe. Continue reading

Wednesday, well hello beautiful friend! And thanks to all of you for joining me as I shower another female chef with some love and admiration!

But since I’ve been in a salad mode lately, and it is still warm here in London, I think we will have a healthy dinner tonight! Continue reading
As I have mentioned on here before, I am amused when I hear people complain about Mondays. I think they are great. Fresh start to the week and all. But it does help set things straight when you take some tasty homebaked treats to work to share with your coworkers. It brings a bit of sunshine into a grey day when folks are still wishing they were in their pjs. This treat, however, isn’t an ordinary one. It is a lemony loaf with a touch of lavender. You know that yummy smelling stuff in your bubblebath? Well, this is edible lavender. So you can eat this treat and feel like you’re still chilling in the weekend spa! Continue reading
