AGA Portraits

This AGA portrait was made for a dear friend who moved house and country, but wanted to take her beloved royal blue AGA with her, at least in her heart and on her future walls!  She had managed after a degree of time and tears to establish a clear line of communication with it (it took a while).   These are a couple of proposed ones, the third one she loved the most and she took away with her!  I named this one "Lady AGA" of course!

AGA Portraits are fab gifts and are available from our shop.  Please use the contact form to order.

Chocolate & Zucchini - WOW

What an honor!  An illustration by melinart is featured in Chocolate and Zucchini today in the series on French Food Idioms!
The idiom is "Papa Gateau".  I let you read all about it there!

This blog was the first I ever followed some 9-10 years ago when we moved to London.   Clotilde Dusoulier, software developer-come-Parisian foodie has such a nack for writing about the latest foodie trends, somehow combining it with the local, seasonal and traditional french passion for food.  She's has had an amazing career, branching out in many cookbooks (her own or in collaboration for the HUGE "I know how to cook" reprint).  She possibly has the best recipe for cumin gougeres in the world...!  She does talks, radio events, seminars.  And not least of all is a new mom.
Can you tell I am a groupie?
Thank you Chocolate and Zucchini!
