Old wives tales are really true as we can’t be sure when a cold spell will set in until Summer is well and truly on our doorstep. Reserve this lovely Mushroom Stroganoff for those more chilly days or evenings when you want to warm up a bit, but still stick to your veggie promise.
Ingredients
1 tbsp Oil
1 Medium Onion, diced
1 Clove Garlic, crushed
500g Closed Cup Mushrooms
½ tsp English Mustard
1 tsp Paprika
250ml Vegetable Stock, made from stock cube
200ml Soured Cream
Juice of half a Lemon
Salt and Black Pepper
Method
Heat a frying pan over a medium heat and add the oil. Once hot, add the onion along with a pinch of salt and cook gently until soft.
Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes, add the mushrooms. Cook gently for 5-6 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender
and golden-brown.
Add the mustard and paprika and mix well. Add the stock, stirring as you pour it. Simmer gently for 5 minutes.
Remove the mushrooms from the heat, stir in the soured cream along with the juice of half a lemon and mix it all together.
Add salt and pepper to taste.

Marilyn Monroe has been heralded as one of the most iconic female sex symbols to emerge out of Hollywood in the past 50 years. Men and Women alike pay homage to her image, including Stephen Hawking, who practically possesses the secret of the Universe and still finds Marilyn a hypnotic enigma.
Whatever it was that made Marilyn the icon she is today is still a mystery, but some of the source is revealed in a book found in my Mother Sylvia’s collection since her sad passing in 2016.
The images are strong and the narrative uplifting, and I felt it should be resurrected for another generation of Marilyn fans. It is called THE BIRTH OF MARILYN and contains formerly lost photographs of Norma Jean by Joseph Jasgur – the author is Jeannie Sakol.
On investigation, the book is still available on Amazon, and for those of you who want to own such a record of the legendary movie star, here is a hint of what is in store if you do.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Birth-Marilyn-Lost-Photographs-Norma/dp/0312067704
It documents Norma Jean’s ‘Steps to Stardom’ from the outset.
‘My arrival in school, with painted lips and darkened brows, started everyone buzzing. Why I was a siren. I hadn’t the faintest idea. I didn’t want to be kissed, and I didn’t dream of being seduced by a duke or a movie star. The truth was that with all my lipstick and mascara and precocious curves, I was as unresponsive as a fossil. But I seemed to affect people quite otherwise’ Marilyn Monroe.
Most of us know that Marilyn’s life was tainted with tragedy, similar to that of Princess Diana, and it is ironic that they both suffered untimely deaths at the age of 37.
The book reveals shots of Marilyn as a young budding model, her first contract and aspirations including her most precious ambitions. Her thoughts also resonate with young women starting out as models or actresses today – not a lot has changed:
I used to think as I looked out on the Hollywood night – there must be thousands of girls sitting alone like me, dreaming of becoming a movie star. But I’m not going to worry about them. I’m dreaming the hardest. Marilyn Monroe.
What is most appealing as I read into the dreams of the young girl starting out in 1946 is her refreshing naivety and untainted aspirations – a revelation to all of you who love Marilyn or those who are just discovering her as a world phenomenon.

Want to know what all the fuss is about as I see queues of females at the Mac store at Westfield. Can’t even get to see a consultant as I want to find out for myself, and finally get an appointment with a two hour wait.
I turn up after copious cups of coffee, and am greeted by a warm smile and a reassuring voice telling me to take a seat, and urging me to give her some indication of shades, colours and occasions currently in my thought tank.
She nudges me out of my comfort zone with foundation a shade lighter and a lipstick several shades darker – a vibrant retro red reminiscent of movie stars of bygone eras ala Marilyn Monroe or even on the curvaceous lips of Merle Oberon.
I am transformed, and buy both along with some daring smoky eyes in their Pro Longwear Paint Pot and one of their new Limited Edition Beauty Kits.
I leave the store feeling nurtured and reinvented, and a Mac convert – I will go back, and next time book ahead with plenty of time to spare.
There are currently some great offers at http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/
