Griff would have danced round producing, with a twiddle here and a tweak there, a pretty and a tasty me...al. I was relying on the recipes he’d dictated to me as he cooked them: spelling had never been my strongest point, and I sometimes I couldn’t tell whether I needed a teaspoon or a tablespoonful of something.
