Couscous Recipes : Wild Rabbit in Mustard This is one of my flagship recipes, and one of my oldest. The first time goes right back to those early days in Paris when the two girls and myself decided to invite some friends around for a special meal – wild rabbit in mustard. They had access […]
There’s a lot of interest in couscous and couscous salad recipes at the moment, and it seems to come from people thinking that couscous is a light option. Maybe it’s even part of some diet fad, I don’t know. Eat as much couscous as you can every lunchtime and lose all your thigh wobble, drop […]
The Rowan Tree The little wild rowan tree (sorbus aucuparia) in my front garden is looking great at this time of year, although half the berries are gone already thanks to hungry blackbirds. I planted it there about ten years ago, and it’s taken its time to grow upwards in the shadow of a great […]

Four dichotomies These arefour dichotomieswhich became apparant to me as I conducted my research, involved myself in communities and absorbed discussions from all over the internet. Where do you place yourself along each of the four gradients? 1. If you like, you could now exit the exhibition and add your score and comments on the […]
First Person Swine Flu I have written about swine flu recently from an epidemiological point of view but now, unfortunately, I’m in the position of being able to provide a first person account of the disease as it progresses in my own body. I’ve been ill for two days, not had a thing to eat, […]
