Hooray for James
Let's face it, for most of us the end of 2008 hasn't been hugely sunny. So any nice news is hugely lovely to hear. When my phone rang this morning I was thrilled to find it was the lovely James McIntosh and even more thrilled to find that for once he wasn't complaining about the trials of traveling with turkeys (apparently they're quite heavy and not great company). For the past month or so, he's been whizzing up and down the country - mainly it would seem on a train and always with at least one turkey in tow - doing Aga demonstrations and teaching people how to make the perfect Christmas lunch.
This time, though, there wasn't even mention of a turkey, trimmings or even a bread sauce. No, James had called to tell me that his cookery book, Mix, has won a Gourmand World Cookbook Award.

So hooray for James and lovely to hear some good news at last. I for one sincerely hope he'll be taking a turkey or two out to celebrate.
