Once I'd got over the boring bit of reaching adulthood, getting a career as a lawyer, getting married and having my first child, life threw us a huge curve ball when our son was diagnosed with Leukaemia. During that time very little made sense, but in an attempt to gain control over one area of my life, I began to bake. My self-imposed challenge was to bake (or make - not every recipe requires the oven) everything in How to be a Domestic Goddess. I haven't quite got there - other cookbooks get in the way, but I'll get there in the end...
