I asked on Twitter earlier in the week (in a very nosy way) what cookbooks did everyone get for Christmas, just to see what was interesting, what was popular, and what I wish I’d got! Not that I’m complaining, having had five fabulous new additions to my bookshelf (shelves, to be fair). But from the [...]

I’ve been busy reorganising the kitchen, which of course meant a lot of cook books being moved around. And then my faves moving back into the kitchen, on top of the fridge. So, what’s up here? And why are they here? The River Cottage Meat Book – because this is not a vegetarian household. And [...]

The Friday Five – Even Greater British Baking
February 11th, 2011 · 1 Comment · Baking, British favourites, Cookbooks, Foodie gifts
I think it’s fairly well documented that a) I am quite keen on cake b) I like to bake and c) I have a terrible cookery book addiction! So the new crop of baking orientated books is like the most dreadful temptation to me. Here’s what I am trying to resist! British Baking from Peyton [...]

Well, it’s New Year’s Eve, hard to believe the year has gone by already. Which means a whole slew of new food books just got a whole lot closer. Here’s five I’m looking forward to being published: The Barbadian Rum Shop: The Other Watering Hole by Peter Laurie- not every book I feature on a [...]

I was a bit stuck on what to make the subject of this week’s Friday Five. Where would I find inspiration? Well, I thought I’d see if anyone on Twitter had any suggestions on any great cookbooks they’ve bought this year…and I’m not short of suggestions now!

Browsing the Lakeland website, as I am wont to do, I came across a new range from the Hairy Bikers. Now I have to admit to a bit of a soft spot for Si and Dave, and we loved having them here in the village when they were filming at the Red Lion. It was [...]

It’s my birthday next week, and just in case you’re stuck on what to get me, then I’ve just pulled 5 random titles out of my wishlist. Unsurprisingly, there’s a food theme going on here! The Flavour Thesaurus by Niki Segnit – why one flavour works with another, and a whole raft of suggestions on [...]
New book temptation time

It’s probably obvious from many entries on the blog that I quite like books about food. No Kindle happening here yet, I love a good leaf through a proper book. So I think it’s unfair of Waterstones to try and tempt me further. But they are doing so, with a further 5% off any spend [...]
