Goodbye to Basics etc.

I have finished the Basics etc. chapter, woohoo! Lots of good recipes in there - man, it makes me tired just reading through that huge list! I loved all of the Christmas recipes, the cakes, the pies, the crumbles! Nigella's pastry method is fantastic, as is her custard, both of which I can now make without the recipes.
