I've found a new cooking hero - move over Delia, Jamie and Nigella - hello, Gizzi!Tucked away on Channel 4 in daytime TV is "Cook Yourself Thin" with the delectable Gizzi Erskine. I wouldn't have known, but for a small mention in the Radio Times. Being a working mum, I don't watch daytime TV so I set the recorder and recorded the entire series which I'm now watching back slowly.
I love Gizzi's style, she's a young, Audrey Hepburn lookalike, but with a streak of feisty about her (just look at her fabulous tattoo!). She's a great chef, too, and has a lovely, relaxed style. She overhauls the participants "downfall" dishes without being patronising or admonishing.
I'm loving her recipes, just the sort of full flavour, fresh ingredient type of meal I love. I'm dying to try her Singapore noodles and I've already made her Skinny Strawberry Cheesecake - delish!
Unfortunately Channel 4 aren't doing a cookbook from the series, but Gizzi has her own book out

.... which I've promptly bought.
(Going to need a new kitchen soon to house all my cookery books!)
She also is the Queen of Gadgets, using lots of lovely kitchenalia to make life lighter. I love kitchen gadgets (can't live without my cherry pitter, wand blender and my apple slicer) so I've already been on t'internet ordered one of these:(Going to need a new kitchen soon to house all my cookery books!)
In it Gizzi combines her recipes with hints and tips about cookery techniques that even an experienced cook like myself can benefit from. I'm dying to make her Sticky Thai Chicken and Mango Salad. Roll on the Summer hols.

and one of these:

Can you tell what it is?
