Then there's the shelf full of fads like Atkins or 101 baby purees (again, almost never used). Let's not forget several folders of things pulled from magazines (and maybe used once). I love cooking when I have time, wine and no whining - but that's rare these days!

Especially her quick cookbooks where the recipes are along the lines of take some lettuce, some chicken, some tomatoes, some avocados and some cheese and you have a salad. Thanks Donna. However I do LOVE her packet brownies...they are my go to when I can't be bothered to bake anything more creative.<br />Mother Down Underhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17646925050489695536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5242075868158858552.post-30485540459452521152013-04-18T13:19:50.409+10:002013-04-18T13:19:50.409+10:00It is indeed the bible of home cookery!

Also, she was cold to my best friend who went along to a book signing. I own a copy of the cooks companion, but I've never used it because I get most inspired by pictures.

Although I love to watch all the cooking shows and I have a hefty collection of recipe books, I think food has become a little too pretentious.

I also have Nigella's How to Eat and I have a good idea where I'd love to shove it! I love Nigel and have his books, very comforting and calming is old Nigel. I like Jill as well. I love Maxine Clark's Italian cook books and am considering the new Ottolenghi book just out. There are so many brilliant food blogs as well, but I'll always still refer to the books methinks. Today, I'm baking a caraway seed cake, courtesy of a Nigel recipe!Sulky Kittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04152258940667581336noreply@blogger.com
