Hi Anne, I usually wrap the base in a double layer of greaseproof paper then alfoil. T xx
Donna Hay You are a Genius
Don't hate me for this. After that Chocolate & Caramel Pudding sucked me in two months ago I just couldn't walk past the new Donna Hay magazine, gloriously adorned with Salted Caramel and Vanilla Baked Cheesecake. How many kinds of awesome does that both look and sound? Yesterday afternoon...

Hi Ali,
Thanks for taking the time to respond, I really appreciate your feedback.
I actually didn’t take Taryn’s article personally, as in a personal attack on me, I took exception to the context it has been written in. I absolutely agree with the quit your whinging approach she’s taken but I think it has been done poorly in the case of this article, I think that it is insulting to people’s intelligence. It is a very heavy handed approach to a delicate subject. Who or what makes the distinction between people who have real depression & body image issues and not?
I don’t know how much of that is Taryn’s writing and how much of the approach has been editorially directed. I haven’t particularly liked anything I have read from Taryn on Mamamia. I don’t read anything on Mamamia regularly because I find that there overriding approach is to create sensation, I see it as an online tabloid…kind of like NW as a print media comparison. It’s okay for the pictures but I don’t place a whole lot of value on what I read in it.
I don’t want to attack what Taryn is trying to achieve because there are people who are connecting with it in a positive way. I don’t connect with the way Taryn is delivering her message. I feel that too much is left out and left open for {mis}interpretation. I am far more comfortable with the idea of an holistic image of self rather than something so focused on body image. I wrote about that here a few weeks ago.

I Am Not a Spoiled Brat
Last week I read something that I felt insulted my intelligence and the intelligence of others. A piece that put forth the notion that women who worry about their appearance are self indulgent spoiled brats. I would like to challenge that. I care about my appearance. If I don’t like something ...
