about

Hello,

How lovely to see you.

Please help yourself to a glass of champagne, come in and mingle? You are a welcome guest, thank you for dropping by.

Champagne and strawberry sorbet

This is a debut, a foray, a whimsy, a vent for edible artiness.  As a creative, it’s a joy to be unrestrained!

Though I’d rather give the cat a leg wax than write another about me page!

There is, however, a base plan for a free, on-line quarterly magazine, this blog is the litmus test.

Please share your thoughts as you are my target demographic:-
Interested and interesting carers and sharers, for which I thank you.

An About page was originally destined to appear with an explanation of a tenuous link to the book shown, that was if the blog ever garnered 100 followers (blush).   Cecelia Aherns book One Hundred Names,  added alchemy to my thoughts. Your presence is appreciated and proves the essence of her writing to be true.

thank you cupcake

Thank you for your time and for being so kind.

Love from Panz  X

Oh 45 years – ish. There was the odd dogs dinner early on but most things turn out ok.

Qualifications?

Nothing exciting, did ok at the School of Survival.  A Master’s degree in Art and Design, which is deplorably un-exercised, as am I.

Why blog?

The blog will be left in perpetuity for my family. Chaucer wrote: The devil makes work for idle hands (also minds in my case).

Whats your style?

Many and varied. Dear me, some of you can be quite scary. Common sense cooking with a few twists and turns, plenty of keen hyperbolic language, rather than the minutiae, a bit of fun, a lot of ice cream.

I love the combination of old and new.

When did you decide to write a blog?

white wine in glass

The glass of wine shown here and on the front page was the defining dining moment and helped explain, to others, my incessant desire to cook, create, phaph and photograph food.

Wit v wisdom?

My prototype for a black and white ice cream machine, It’s a work in progress.

Hope you see a little of both?

Note: My first post was on April foods day.

Who takes your photographs?

I do, exclusively.

Is Pansy your real name?

Ah intrigue? No. My late parents et al called me Panz or Pansy it’s just a nick name. It comes from Pansy Potter the Strong Mans Daughter. A Beano Cartoon, from 1938.   http://www.beano.com/retro-beano/pansy-potter?decade=1960.

  5. Beautiful photos and love that you cook with rose petals. Had a great rip roaring laugh about waxing the cat’s legs – I’ll have to save that imagery in my back pocket to drop into cocktail conversation (and will be making that Bellini recipe soon!). Thank you for stopping by my blog – I’m completely new to this so it’s lovely to know web winds blew you my way.

  11. The following thought seems weird to say in word form, and yet perfectly normal in a thought, but – I love your hair!

    Also – love the look of your blog. The pictures are beautiful. Glad you found an outlet for your talent 🙂

  12. Hi. Thank you for dropping by at my blog. Not only I felt excited for my first few visitors but it gave me the chance to meet you. What an awesome blog you have here! My eyes are feasting on the photos. 🙂 I’ll be running to grab real one later.

  13. the first thing that entered my mind when I saw your site was “wow, ice cream!”. as a lover of this delightful yet sinful dessert, your blog is simply too hard to resist.

    btw, i love how you wrote your “about” page. very nice.

    and thank you too for dropping by at my blog and liking my post. As a newbie in the blogging world, I really appreciate that.

  19. Thanks for liking my post about Turkish walnut sausage! Have you tried it before?

    Although I rather infrequently consume ice cream, Japan seems to have my number. White and black sesame for starters…

  20. Fabulous style! Champagne was delightful and had to chuckle at reading, “don’t nick my stuff.” That was especially funny coming at the end of such an elegant post. Of course, being an artist myself, I totally understand concern over copyright issues, but found the contrast totally amusing. 🙂

  22. Panz, Thank you for stopping by my blog. It never fails to amaze me how many great blogs are out there that I just haven’t found – like this one – until now! I’m adding you to my bloglovin feed 🙂

  23. Thank you for stopping by my blog. I’m a brand new blogger so it’s exciting to see that people are visiting and reading. Ice cream magazine is so polished and beautiful and your recipes look amazing. Much nicer than my crock pot mess! Nanette

  28. Thanks so much for stopping by my little blog and liking the Stone Fruit Cake. Yours is absolutely amazing, hope to make it to your level one day!

  35. Hi Pansy,
    Thanks for taking a look at my blog and liking my post about the fruit tart 🙂 I don’t get the time to cook much anymore but I still love to eat and LOVE ice cream. I’m hoping I’ll find the time to try some of your recipes. Love your photography.

  43. What a wonderfully witty About page. I love your photography and ice-cream–just can’t get enough. Thank you for stopping by yesterday. It was so nice to see your like.
    -Cheers

  52. What a treat your “About” page is to read, as delightful as an after dinner bowl of ice cream! Keep up the wonderful work, I will live vicariously through your photographs and posts as I cannot have dairy. Beautiful job! Thank you for visiting my blog and liking my post.

  54. Hello! Just wanted to say thanks for visiting my blog and liking the post “Let Them Eat Cake: A Tale of Birthday Shenanigans.” I’m looking through your blog and my stomach is growling!
