About Crispy Duck Diary
An ex-investment banking ninja turned domestic diva (not quite yet though – I’m not too great a hand at cleaning) finding her way through a whole new world of food. This blog was started off as preparation for the French culinary course, which I’ve now completed, as I had to teach myself how to differentiate sausages from trotters, and beef from lamb while taking comfort in some old favourites such as mom’s amazing malai curry and pasta-pesto-cheese. None of my self-discovery prepared me for what I’d learnt at school as I’d suddenly found out there’s way more to cooking than just following a good recipe.
Thanks for stopping by

Yup! Recipe’s been stuck into the post. I think this is a cupcake you couldn’t resist. If only waitrose made them…
You did it! Bonne chance…
This is one dope blog, fellow blogger
good luck on your course
Can you do that prawn dish you cooked the night of the frozen pea fight? That was soo yummy!
Antoine – Thanks! for dropping by and words of wisdom.
Alex – your blog rocks! I love chimps. the nice ones. I dislike the angry ones that rob you off your shiny things.
Sophie – we need a re-match of the frozen pea fight..
Ooh Reshmi I love the blog! I love food + I love blogs – therefore I adore this one!
Oh how I wish I could drop whatever I’m doing and do something I love like cooking! Does that mean you’re going to train to be a chef or cook?
Hi Alya! Thanks
Indeed I am. It’s a year-long course in Paris and I’mmoving this Dec. Massively looking forward to it but really nervous about cutting up and cooking all sorts of meat hehe
Hi Reshmi,
I like this a lot – I hope you find some decent prawns in St. Petersburg soon. I reckon one thing you can rely on in Russia would be some good cheap Salmon – is this correct?
I am going to try cooking some of these tasty suggestions, I’ll let you know how it goes

Great blog! Keep it up!
Does Sophie’s no show last night equate to a forfeit? Is it 2-0 now in pea wars?
