They lived in a world of superlatives.

I'm sitting here, in my boyfriends east London flat watching another episode of Master chef. We always have a good giggle when Greg says "BIG FLAVOURS", although he has not said it nearly enough this series. We watch all the culinary programmes iplayer and 4od have to offer, yet neither of us are any good in the kitchen. I have a few signature dishes and well quite frankly even I've become bored of them now.
I'd heard mixed reviews about BBC 2's "The delicious Miss Dahl" but I was pleasantly surprised by what I found. I loved her twee kitchen and healthy appetite for food. She truly stole my heart with the anecdotes she told about the food. I've never really enjoyed food much as I am the fussiest eater but the way she mixed food and literature was delightful. It was more than just a programme about food. How absolutely beautiful is this?!

"Twice in her life she had mistaken something else for it; it was like seeing somebody in the street who you think is a friend, you whistle and wave and run after him, and it is not only not the friend, but not even very like him. A few minutes later the real friend appears in view, and then you can't imagine how you ever mistook that other person for him. Linda was now looking upon the authentic face of love, and she knew it, but it frightened her. That it should come so casually, so much by a series of accidents, was frightening."
— Nancy Mitford (The Pursuit of Love & Love in a Cold Climate: Two Novels)

I cant wait to watch next weeks episode. I think this may finally be the programme that makes me want to turn over a new leaf.
