Today, I have the great honour of presenting my interview with Kirrily Cornwell, a fellow Canberran who was recently crowned the Australian Good Taste Home Cook of the Year 2011.

As I’ve mentioned here before, my [maternal] grandfather has been in hospital since the end of July. Last week, my [paternal] grandmother had bronchitis, took a fall, broke her nose, and also went to hospital.

Theme: Love Recipe: Chickpeas with Pumpkin, Lemongrass, and Coriander Cookbook: Tender, by Nigel Slater When I saw that the theme for this fortnight of the Cookbook Challenge was Love, my first thought was “Bah, humbug”.

Never you fear, I still plan to tell you about the non-pudding dessert I made for Christmas lunch and the restaurant my family went to on Christmas Eve, but I can’t help wanting to change tack for a second.
