Canapes help

I've agreed to provide canapes for a friends cocktail party for 30 and I have a ton of ideas of what to do. I do however have a small problem in that the venue doesn't have an ideal set up place that I can construct them, so I will have to complete them and then transport them done. It will take me about 3 hours to get to the venue and be ready to rock so my fear is that any that are on bellini, filo or crutes etc will make the base soggy and not very nice to eat. I will be doing some on…See More

A passion, an obsession and a plea for help.

Whilst I consider cooking a passion that I can’t get enough of, I have a deep obsession for kitchen knives. I’d like to add at this point it is a healthy obsession and I’m not a nut job who sits in a rocking chair sharpening my collection and muttering to myself ! My obsession started in Japan a number of years ago when I found out about a town called Seki where there is a community of knife makers and master knife makers producing small numbers of superior kitchen knives. Story has it that…See More
