But it is easy to get a bit comfortable professionally, and personally sometimes we all need a bit of a jolt or a bit of a change.I make it a rule that I have to want to make 20 recipes in a cookery book before I am "allowed" to add to my stash, but there were only a couple in here I felt I needed to try.
