MY SISTER is very ill with an ongoing disease and so can barely get out of the house.

She just loves cooking shows and never misses one.

The funny part is her husband is now addicted to food and cooking, after being a man who was never interested in things like that or knew where a food shop was.

Now he has to do most of the cooking.

Each day at 4pm finds them sitting side by side in their recliners watching the show.

I always turn straight to Miranda's column when we get The Weekly Times and really love reading it all, especially cooking and craft.

Shirley Hadden, St Leonards

Congratulations Shirley, you have also won a DVD pack.
