Recipes from the old site
Here are word files containing all the recipes I posted on my old site (hosted by Uber, may it rest in peace). They are complete with all the photos and rants :)
savoury stuff.doc – a word file containing the savoury recipes, photos and rants from all the posts on the old site.
Also, sweet stuff.doc – a word file containing the sweet treats and desserts from the old site. Pip will be sending me html stuff so that you can view the site as it was so hopefully you’ll also be able to access the past posts in their original state.
Bon appetit!
