 GJ> to have a go themselves.   BTW, how did you get to know about that
 GJ> Malaysian born South Australian Poh?  She lives not far from Kevin's

 DD> I learned about Poh from one of my favourite resources - Usenet News
 DD> Groups. Specifically alt.binaries.multimedia and
 DD> alt.binaries.multimedia.cooking ... It's also my source for Nigella
 DD> Lawson programmes and Luke Nguyen's Vietnamese shows.

My old, DOS browser, NetTamer, has a listing of Usenet News Groups,
which I haven't yet used.  I will give it a try.

You have beaten me to it!  I think his present series is his second.

 DD> do anything new!!!" People is funny ducks, old son.

With that sort of defeatist attitude towards life, it is not really
surprising that they were poor and jobless!  One of the mature age
students shown expressed her amazement that cooking could be so easy,
and that the food tasted so good.  She had got to the age of 30 or so,
and apparently never tried cooking anything.   Incredible!
 
 GJ> My 6 yo g'daughter is starting to show an interest in cooking, which I

That is simple enough.  Young Jemiah loves pasta, and strangely, is
addicted to Parmesan cheese, so perhaps something like this:
