As a 13-year-old staying with an extremely eccentric family in an even more eccentric cobweb-strewn house (half of which appeared to be a long-abandoned cabaret café), I found the whole experience challenging to say the least. Never before, or since, have I experienced such a longing for home.
It was such a vivid experience, however, that much of it has stayed with me, including the flavours of the local cuisine.
This trip was undoubtedly
the catalyst for my life-long
love of food.
The whole family were superb cooks, and I tasted the most delicious pastas, pâtés and crêpes. One particularly memorable couscous dish was served at the local village fête. I’d never even heard of couscous, let alone tasted it, but I loved the combination of flavours and textures.
I’ve done my best to recreate this recipe almost 30 years’ later in the 2017 Dairy Diary. It’s really easy to make, and can be made in advance and chilled, so it’s ideal for a portable lunch, and much more interesting than the ubiquitous cheese sandwich.

One of the projects that I (when I say I, I actually mean my far more practical other half) want to tackle this summer is the edge between the lawn and the borders.
Our strimmer seems to run out of strimming
line roughly every two minutes and I end up
on my hands and knees using our blunt garden
shears to hack at the edge of the lawn.
With sunken bricks, you can just mow straight over them and the borders look tidy and stay contained. Overall, this gives a really neat finish to the garden.

As I am newly married I thought I had better up my game a bit and be a good wife! So yesterday I pulled out all the stops and made breakfast in bed – quite a feat when my better-half usually gets up before 7am!
Bleary-eyed, I fumbled through my trusty Dairy Diary, donned my apron (looking very glamorous over my M&S pjs) and rustled up these rather fabulous Danish Pastries (sshhh he’ll never know how easy they are to make!)
They really are a very easy treat
for a weekend breakfast, I can
highly recommend them!
