I love leafing through it's reference sections and learning about different cooking techniques, things like that. Cookgeek stuff. I've really just started getting into cooking (as an obession...) a...

Thanks akay! I just tried it in a tea pot with a wire mesh basket.... a couple little grounds but no big deal. I ground the coffee beans with a mortar and pestle, feeling very- rustic?- the w...

Would a clean tea towel lining a wiremesh sieve work? That way you could wash and reuse... anybody?

This is brilliant idea! And if you get the stuff that peels off easy, your landlords won't kill you... gotta try it... thanks :)

Cooking? During the great Exam Cram? I can only dream... It is my favourite form of procrastination though. I guess the answer then is kimchi ramen noodles and friend eggs. Mmm...

"Croque Jardin"..... How weird! I had never heard of this before and then this morning I thought, you know what would be good? Dry toast, a layer of friend tomato, and then a fried egg... And...
