I’m house hunting at the moment and I only have two must haves for my new place.

1) A bathroom where you don’t feel less clean after you’ve come out of it.

2) An area for an oven.

Now don’t get me wrong, my name isn’t Curly Sue and I don’t have 6 brothers and 11 sisters all living on a little house on the prairie. Neither do I have perfectly bobbed hair and walk around the house all day in an immaculate dress with perfectly manicured nails even though I am cleaning and baking all day.

I mean it may be fun to sit at home all day and bake but it’s not for me. The thing is I don’t like the television and don’t own one so to me having an oven is like having a TV.

As you guys learn your show’s characters I learn my ingredients, as you get deeper into the plot, I get deeper into adding the subtle flavors of the dish. As your plot thickens and you don’t know what will happen at the end, my dish is going into the oven I don’t how it will turn out. We both wait on tenterhooks, wait for the outcome. And then the climax builds I watch the minuets tick as the cake rises, you watch your villain get stalked. Then Bang! Your baddie is caught and the scent of the delicious cake explodes through my oven.

So I am always on the hunt for new recipes of cakes, or biscuits, or pies, or ANYTHING!

And if it’s cheap then all the better!

The best thing about Hungry Nation is they don’t tell you to put a sprig of thyme that can only be found on a lonely prairie on the top of Ben Nevis! They use stuff (ingredients) that I find down my local corner shop!! Awesome! With their simple but very effective, cozy cooking style  I feel I could cook anything. In fact in the words of Bernard from Black Books “My oven’s so good it could cook bits of oven”
