The Grey Skies are Clearing.
Plus New Website and why I don't want to keep all my eggs in one basket.
Welcome to FoodStack Kitchen (digest version). A subsection of the FoodStack Library.
As the grey skies over the UK begin to lift, albeit briefly, I find myself standing by my kitchen door, trying to soak up as much of the sunlight and vitamin D as I possibly can until the clouds see fit to deprive us of such happiness until the next time.
During these dark, depressing months of Winter, I suddenly realised when it came to the FoodStack Library publication that I was placing all my eggs in one basket and wanted to keep all my options open. If one publication goes offline, which happened recently as a result of domain name redirections system error my internet provider going down, at least I can access the other, until service is restored.
So here I am, with a new website - FoodStack Kitchen, away from Substack, containing my recipes that are freely available to download and print off.
These regular digests will include what cookbooks I’ve been using, new free recipes and the latest news and posts within the FoodStack Library publication.
I hope you like the plan.
As always, constructive feedback is appreciated.
Lynn.

Sticky Toffee and Date Pudding with a Toffee Sauce
Even as the weather is improving, a good pudding will help keep away those cold days.
It’s one of my favourite desserts which I started making after a few days in Grange over Sands, just a short drive from Cartmel, said to be the home of the original Sticky Toffee Pudding recipe. Source - Cartmel.org
Wholemeal Vanilla Shortbread
Rich, buttery, and nutty, this easy-to-make Wholemeal Vanilla Shortbread comes together and is ready to eat in under an hour. With just four ingredients—butter, sugar, flour, and vanilla—it’s simple yet delicious. I’ll bet you can’t eat just one!
