Am just back from a lovely relaxing four days with my old cookery friend, Anna del Conte,  doyenne of Italian cookery writers and wonderful cook – so yes, before anyone asks, we did eat well!
(If you check out her Minestrone recipe on the FM site there are links to several of her books.)
However, far from logging in and blogging on her computer as I had intended, I am afraid that I ‘veg’d’ out on the sofa with a very exciting book (Before I go to sleep by SJ Watson, for anyone who wants to know – a very unconventional thriller about amnesia….) So, while I get back into my stride, can I suggest that you check in on:

The new  NICE guidelines for child allergies with Alex Gazzola at Food Allergy and Intolerance Ink and, for the official view, NHS Choices

With Ruth at What Allergy on Raw milk – and while you are at it you might want to read Gill Jacobs article on the Weston Price Foundation who have very strong views on raw milk.

Micky Rose’s post this morning on Magnesium for Tinnitus

More, more original thoughts, anon….
