Remember how I said I had a few surprises up my sleeve? Well, if you’re anything like me, there are some bloggers you just can’t get enough of and so I’m doing a small series of posts, perhaps twice a month, with an interview and a dish from some who’ll need no introduction and have kindly indulged my curiosity. I hope I asked the right questions – they were the things I always want to know – and that you enjoy them too.
It’s hard to say exactly what it is that makes Luisa so beloved of her readers. It might be her slightly self-deprecating air or her delicate turn of phrase but I suspect her appeal has more than a little to do with how honest she is – she allows just a little melancholy to throw shade on her post if that’s how she’s feeling that day. It’s no mean feat; blogging is so personal that it’s a fine line to walk between over-sharing and seeming distant but she always hits the high notes while remaining a lady.

Dear Anna,
When I think of feta cheese, I think of you. You used to bring feta cheese sandwiches to school in an old Killinchy Gold ice-cream box.
It’s your 30th birthday today. That means we’ve known each other for more than half our lives! I’m so glad you asked me to wag school with you that day and go up to the shops to smoke cigs, even though I didn’t smoke and I was so proud when you finally managed to give up, especially since the reason was “because you didn’t want to end up one of those haggy old smoker grannies.”

For several summers running, I had rather a dreamy job which involved cooking whatever I wanted for a sweet family with a broad palate in the Southwest of France. Now, if you work in a restaurant, the bottom line is always in the front of your mind (or at least, your chef’s) and therefore your style can find itself rather cramped but other than occasional requests for potatoes (they were English after all) I could and did, mess about composing menus to my heart’s content.
