COOKBOOKS I GAVE MYSELF FOR CHRISTMAS

That I have a severe addiction to beautiful cookbooks is widely known but no matter how many gorgeous examples are sent to me by kind publishers for review some always slip through the net so Christmas gave me the chance to buy the following from that excellent indie bookstore UBS Canterbury while visiting there the week before our departure to the US. Now we are home again I have time to have a relaxing read of them and all three have proven enchanting. Next week I start cooking from them!


Cardamon and Lime - Recipes from the Arabian Gulf
Sarah Al-Hamad
Interlink Books - Paperback -$37.99















Bought, Borrowed & Stolen - Recipes & Knives from a travelling chef
Allegra McEvedy - Conran Octopus - Hardback - $60







SO FRENCH - a lifetime in the provincial kitchen
Dany Chouet with Trish Hobbs
Hardback - Murdoch Books - $80

Sometimes you just have to buy these things for yourself, on behalf of the people you love, without their knowledge, but with the best interests of their taste buds at heart.
