How wonderful, Work, my first comment! There are some really funny bits in the index, as befits this enormous project worked on by two people who don’t cook! So “bolognese” will move from “sauces” to “pasta”, and “crabcakes” from “desserts” to “shellfish”… ! Julian and his staff have worked overtime and I think their eyes must have glazed over with eight different versions of Lillian Hellman chicken. But I LOVE my index!
Wow — it’s just grand! Congratulations and I’ll be watching this space — will ring over the weekend … just now recovering from immense jet lag — I love the current potato salad recipe — will try that next week when friends come to dinner!
I am a dual American-English citizen living happily in London (only occasionally pining for New York). I am a cookery writer and member of the Guild of Food Writers, and I’ve just published my second cookbook, ‘second helpings: more tonight at 7.30′. You can buy both books and other treats here. I am a church-bell-ringer, a volunteer paediatric social worker, and a devoted host to all the friends and family who flock to our tables in London and Connecticut. My husband and I have a grown daughter who’s an historian, and has reprised her role as photographer for my books. And… we’re building a house in Central London. Never a dull moment!
I love it!!! I think the first thing I am going to make is the hot artichoke dip, this weekend, for a dinner party we are going to.

Jo, cannot wait to talk whenever you have the energy: jet lag is SO much worse coming this direction! The potato salad needs salt, FYI. xoxox
