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

Your questions answered:

How long have you been cooking?

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?

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.

  1. I love your unique About page! Combinations of old and new appeal to me, too. I enjoyed stopping by your site, and I appreciate you liking my recipe for Muscadine Bread on my site! 🙂

  13. So glad to meet you and glad you visited my Family Answers Fast blog, Pansy! I love food and how it brings people together. Ice cream? Bring it on!

  28. Thanks for visiting my blog and liking my Scotland Gone Vegan post. You have a very visual blog – colourful, eye catching photos. I wonder if you have explored vegan ice cream?

  40. Thank you for always stopping by our blog and liking our posts! Love your blog too- love the pictures, your writing everything! And 45 years of cooking- woah! We hope to cook and blog for as long and longer too! 😀

  42. Hey Panz, I am a fellow ice cream lover and very much look forward to reading more on your fab page! Thanks so much for ‘liking’ my blog. There’ll be some ice cream musings on there in the future, I’m sure!

  51. Thank you for stopping by & liking my post on Valentine’s Day cookies! I love your pics and musings on all things ice cream….will definitely make this a routine stop in my blogging travels. 🙂

  56. Very pleased to meet you, Pansy! Your blog is exquisite and I’m so curious to see what you do next. I’ve asked the universe to help make your magazine a reality – in large part for self-centered reasons : ) Thank you stopping by my blog. I would like to ask permission to link to your post on the Bellini sorbet with English garden herbs when peaches arrive in the stores here in Alaska. Those Bellinis rank high on my list of wondrous things. Beautifully presented peaches and champagne = heaven on earth. Anyone who does a dogs’ dinner has to be very special indeed. Best of luck in all your efforts.

  57. Hi
    Thank you for liking my post pumpkin soup ! 🙂

    I love your blog. I have a very big sweet tooth and there can be no better reason for me to come back over and again to your page. Great work !

    Cheers,
    Jen

  58. What a unique blog. I’ve never actually made my own ice cream but I am now inspired by your recipes and will definitely be back! Thank you for visiting my blog too.

  60. Thank you for visiting my blog, and congratulations to yours. It’s really amazing. By the way, ice-cream is a perfect companion to Austrian pancakes (Palatschinken) – yummy!

  61. Glad you liked my Chef Tell recipe for an appetizer. Do you know Gill Watson in the UK? She cooks and writes a blog and is reading my book “CHEF TELL The Biography of America’s Pioneer TV Showman Chef.”

  68. Thanks for liking one of my blog posts because it lead me to discover this: your blog is my mecca.

    (I have a gelato problem, but all things related to ice cream intrigue me)

    Everything looks amazing! Kudos!

  69. I love the way you take pictures. That’s something Im working on very hard and I am passionate about it. On my blog the pictures are also mine exclusively. I can see you have this special sense of a moment- many people think it’s only food in the end, but it’s not and you know it.
