The staff here at Village Books has a little tradition of enjoying a home-baked "bickie" on Thursday afternoons with one another and any customers in the store. (In Australia and other parts of the British Commonwealth, a biscuit or "bickie" is what Americans call a cookie, or other kind of sweet treat.) To add yet another layer of meaning to the expression, "eating your own home cooking," our bickies often come straight out of the pages of cookbooks sold in the store. Recently Andrea's schedule switched to Thursday and this week she made her Bickie Debut!  She passed the test with flying colours thanks to the Blackberry Galette in Nigella Lawson's How to Be a Domestic Goddess cookbook, given to her for Christmas by her daughter who she says, "flatters me with the same moniker." Andrea substituted blueberries and found, indeed, any berries will do. She claims the key to success with this recipe is the cornmeal pastry because nothing soaks up the fruit's juices better without going soggy.
