Puis, après avoir beaucoup réfléchi et rédigé de nombreuses pages, je me suis concentrée sur l’influence que cette tradition culinaire a eue sur ma façon de cuisiner.

Mes recettes, au même titre que les anecdotes qui les accompagnent, sont les témoins concrets de ce va-et-vient. »

KITCHEN FRAU Bose Johnson, Margaret From the judges: Margaret uses an engaging storytelling quality in her posts along with a wonderful sense of humour. There’s a real earnest approach to share what she loves that feels authentic and approachable, like a reliable neighbour you can count on. Kitchen Frau is packed with tips for success, how-to’s, ingredient facts as well as interesting anecdotes - I love the ‘Kitchen Frau Notes’. Margaret has a lovely writing style and is the blog’s greatest asset. Her photos are homey and humble and are a great addition to her posts.
