Nanny and Child Reunion: My Dear Evelyn and I Find Each Other After 50-Plus Years
One of the sweetest moments of my life took place when I was reunited with my childhood nanny, Evelyn. Hired by my parents when I was an infant, Evelyn left her small rural community at age 17 to care for me in our Montreal home. Fifty years later, I reunited with my beloved nanny, who had spent her life on a farm near the tiny village of Brinston, not far from where she grew up. I have fond memories of the summers spent with Evelyn after our initial reunion. We would go on adventures at 40 km/hr on rural roads and pick raspberries at the local u-pick berry farm. Evelyn made the most gorgeous pies, which I haven't perfected, but I can make an excellent raspberry cake.
Read my reflection and listen to my podcast episode about my reunion with my nanny, Evelyn Smail, here (you'll also find my recipe for raspberry cake when you follow the link): https://www.marionkane.com/recipe-2/nanny-child-reunion-evelyn-find/ (https://www.marionkane.com/recipe-2/nanny-child-reunion-evelyn-find/)

A Lively Chat with Nigella Lawson, my Kitchen Cousin
Big news for one of television's most popular reality TV shows! Dame Prue Leith is leaving The Great British Bake Off and will be replaced by celebrity cooking icon, Nigella Lawson. Nigella will almost certainly attract her legion of followers to the Bake Off audience, on account of her warm likeability and earnest passion for eating good food. I had the very good fortune of interviewing Nigella in 2015, and we quickly recognized each other as kindred souls, or "kitchen cousins." She was an absolute delight! You can listen to my chat with Nigella here: https://www.marionkane.com/podcast/chat-nigella-kitchen-cousin/ (https://www.marionkane.com/podcast/chat-nigella-kitchen-cousin/)
If you're on Instagram, here's a link to a clip of Nigella talking about how she feels excited and "a teeny bit frightened" about joining The Great British Bake Off. https://www.instagram.com/p/DUGOC40FK4g/?hl=en (https://www.instagram.com/p/DUGOC40FK4g/?hl=en)
