Hi Maggie, I'm looking for a particular episode of the cook and the chef, but I can't find out which one, it had Ken Fox and his magic puddings in it, I think it was around 2007? I love the show, it rocks :) much like your pate :) If anubody can tell me which season/episode I'm looking for that would be sensational. Cheers :)
Maggie, I love your style of cooking (wholesome with a touch of flair)
Hi Maggie, I adore everything you come up with on your show with the Chef. Have most of your books & just wish I could cook half as good as you. I will keep trying with your help.
Hi Maggie, I love the potted prawns and we are having them on Christmas Day along with my chiken liver pate which people tell me is better than yours!!!.
Hi Maggie, I just love the style of food you cook. Really enjoyed the Cook and the Chef series, and really loved your Chef's Christmas feature. Can't wait to try the Gorgonzola, pear and walnut dish. Cheers.
Hi Maggie - have a pot of your quince paste. Went to your website for your suggested recipe "Quince, roasted almond and chocolate slab" but could not find it. Would love to try it. Best wishes Jean Caley
Hi Maggie my name is Aly Dalitz and I am a big fan of your show The cook & The Chef as well as my husband Gary. We do enjoy watching you and Simon together when we are able and the both of you make cooking such fun.

your mummys house. sawz.
I also think Simon should have Celebrity Chef status. He is a creative and adventurous cook, and a generous and modest man who always give Maggie the limelight. She is wonderful too, of course, but I think Simon should also be allowed to star.
I agree!
I absolutely love watching The cook & The Chef. They are great to watch they compliment each other with there own approaches and their style of cooking.
Just love Maggie on 'The Cook & The Chef'. Took me a while to really get into the show but now I love it. Got her new cookbook for Christmas so looking forward to trying many recipes.
