The May Bank holiday always reminds me of the family days out of my childhood. My Dad cracking hardboiled eggs on the dashboard of the Anglia; my sister and I, shivering from the sea, sitting on a cooler box the size of a bank safe tucking into ham and sand sandwiches. The orange squash, fruit juice had yet to be discovered, the Tupperware tainted salads. It was the age of Tupperware; when future archaeologists try to excavate our past they will first have to break through the hermetically sealed plastic seam of the seventies. Each upstanding piece of porcelain in our house had its own portable, plastic nemesis. Whilst some 70s parents where chucking their car keys into the middle of the room, mine had thrown their whole lot in with Tupperware INC. Beakers, bowls, mugs and jugs; the boot of the Anglia was full of it. My favourite was the infamous ‘Slim Jim’, a hybrid of a container which went everywhere with us. As it bore no relation to any other product in existence we alw...

Along with the summer sun comes the nasty bugs that bite. Most popular and effective insect repellent sprays contain terribly toxic chemicals and smell awful, enough to repulse even the most ardent admirer as well as the intended pests.

Limoncello is one of my all time favourite summer drinks. Nothing rounds of a lazy, summer Sunday lunch with friends better than a glass or two of delicious home made Limoncello. This recipe is so easy, the only hard part is finding the 95% proof Eau de Vie you need to make it. Always remember this handy ratio guide; 15 lemons to each litre alcohol 1 kg sugar to each litre of alcohol 2 litres water to each litre alcohol Scrub your lemons to remove any wax and pesticides, even organ lemons may be waxed and have sealed in pollution. Peel the 15 lemons and place in a bowl Pour over the Eau de Vie Cover with a plate and leave for 4 days Dissolve the sugar in the water over a gentle flame Drain the Eau de Vie through a colander into the cooled sugar solution Bottle, store in a dark place for a few weeks, chill and serve Enjoy!

I was pondering Easter Sunday lunch when the phone range. ‘Well hello my dear!” it was my best friend, the impeccably named Michele D’Amore, live from Manhattan. ‘So what are you doing for Easter?’ she asked finishing the sentence as only New Yorkers do on an upbeat. ‘Is it going to be traditional?’ ‘Traditional?’ I repeated stalling for time. I cast my mind back across the decades. The only Easter related ritual I had was sneaking into the living room after school where the family’s Easter egg offerings would be lined up for weeks beforehand. Skillfully I would remove an egg from its cardboard housing, unwrap the foil, split the chocolate in two, secrete the wrapped contents in my blazer pocket and reassemble the whole thing within a matter of seconds. Come Easter Sunday I would act out horror as it was discovered that all the eggs were empty. To this day my Father unjustly believes Cadburys is the most shoddily inefficient company in existence. Then I remembered a glo...
