Simple and tasty food.
Pecan pie is one of my all time favourite desserts. We sampled a lot of delicious pecan pies when we were in America recently, it’s the kind of dessert I can never get enough of. I wanted to make my own pecan pie this week to use up my delicious stash of special pecans that I brought home from “We’re Nuts” near Vienna, Georgia. In America they say Pee-CON, in Ireland …

After the success of the Rubik’s cake, I really wanted another project and the breakfast fry came to me one day, as it’s so iconic …
