A Very Good Egg

Samuel Saloway-Cooke on Delia Smith, Delia's Complete Illustrated Cookery Course

Before I left for university, my mother gave me three things she thought I might find useful: a small non-stick milk pan, one of those wooden spoons with a square corner – ‘for getting right to the edges’, she said – and a huge hardback recipe book, from the dust jacket of which beamed the reassuring face of Delia Smith: the new, single-volume Delia’s Complete Illustrated Cookery Course (1989).

A New Angle on Life

Samuel Saloway-Cooke on Edwin A. Abbott, Flatland

I had to be on site to receive deliveries before the store opened, which meant catching the bus that glided, spectre-like, past my rural home just before 5 a.m. most mornings. I kept watch, fully dressed for work under a quilted dressing-gown, by the window at the top of the stairs, so that I could spot the headlights between the trees and so have enough time to dash outside and flag it down with vigorous torch and arm-waving.
