But no! The delightful Fern Britton has departed the sunny climes of Ready,
Steady, Cook [after having...relations...with chef Phil Vickery] to replace
Richard & Judy as stars of Good Morning on ITV.

As for menu suggestions...

For an appetiser, how about Broccoli and Stilton soup (assuming you can get
Stilton)? I'm sure Delia Smith has a recipe and I could probably find one if
you wanted. Alternatively, baked brie always goes down well, and you could
use Somerset brie, some of which is nice. It's baked in a puff pastry parcel
and goes all gooey and is scrumptious. You could also do finger sandwiches
if you wanted, with thinly cut quality white bread, cucumber, egg, ham,
cheese & Branston Sandwich Pickle...

Side dish for the Shepherds Pie: HAS to be Heinz Baked Beans. Do try not to
get the BBQ-flavored ones...just the ones in the nice tomato-y sauce. You
could also roast some parsnips or make cauliflower cheese.

Recipes on request. :D
