REDISCOVERING THE HOUSE OF ELLIOTTHow did I ever miss this incredible BBC series back in the 90s? Thanks to my public library, I can finally see the whole kit and kaboodle, measuring out three seasons long.

The magnificent costuming by Joan Wadge can't be missed if you are in any way in love with jazz age fashion.

After the fairy tale was published, German bakers began baking houses of lebkuchen, a spicy cake often containing ginger. The houses became particularly popular during Christmas, a tradition that crossed the ocean with German immigrants. In our bakery, I watched as our Master Cak...
