I love Harry - what an encouraging and practical man. With some creative accounting you and a suitcase will be able to fly from Naples to film new episodes of your Dad's stories. Tucked up in a cosy corner eating hearty soup ? Interestingly, only the MEN in my aunt's extended family made the blackberry jam. They lived on large sheep stations in Australia so blackberries were plentiful: blackberry pies were the specialty of my aunt and my mother. Their secret was an extra small egg yolk added to the pastry which was made by hand using a wide bladed bone knife. Another idea was to add five cardamom pods and half a split vanilla pod to fig jam which takes fig jam to another level. I watch 'Kylie Flavell - you tube' last weekend and she had some lovely meal ideas. She is an Australian girl married to Guido living in Tuscany. "Healthy Breakfast and Lunch Ideas" was this weekend's video. Kylie (is 9 months pregnant which will not interest your Dad but she) is an extraordinarily gifted filmmaker which I think he will enjoy and in the middle of renovating, with the occasional recipe. Thank you Nicki. What a beautiful way to spend 13 minutes.
