Good Morning All.
Here is a link to today's crossword - Cookery by Lavatch

http://thespectator.n...om/epaper/viewer.aspx

It can be found on page 85.

Much easier than last week and cookery in every sense.

Enjoy.

Morning, K.

I might try that.

I've given up on ChatterBank, so I have more crossie time now.

Light and simple, but quite satisfying!

[joggerjayne]

Thanks, K.

I think help is just what I'll need.

I enjoyed Enigmatist yesterday (but couldn't quite finish it).

Thanks for the link, K

[oldenburg]

Thanks K. Look forward to tackling this later. Must say I enjoyed 'Something Shocking' last week. Some entertaining but precise clues I thought.

[Mysterons]

Thanks K - and congratulations again to Margaret - Spectator cossword's most regular winner at the moment ?

[teenieleek]

Thanks for the link K, will have a go later. Hopefully it will brighten up a dull, rainy morning.

Thanks K - certainly easier than last week's , though I was very slow with the cookery until the penny dropped!

Thanks to mintyman99 for the pdf link. Easier than last week, but I'm still pondering 25a.

[kayakamina]

25a maroon

It needs to be 'melted' to fit the theme.

[Helveticus]

Thanks, kayakamina. 25a was a new one on me.

[andrewvc12]

Yes, much easier. I've finished it but don't understand the word play in 1d.

[tenflags]

Mischievous goddess (of temptation) = ATE
that is = ID EST
going around gives IDE ATE ST
shaking bottom gives IDEATES(T)

[andrewvc12]

Thanks for that, tenflags. I was just using "ie".

Satisfying & enjoyable, and better than most Speccie efforts IMHO
