My personal take on all things food
I love cookbooks…. there I’ve said it!
I have far too many, but I enjoy just reading them, seeing different cooks take on ingredients and methods as well and trying out new recipes.
In the section I review some of favourites, as well as new and popular ones and give my personal opinion on the recipes, the book itself and how easy (or hard!) the recipes are to follow. I will also try a couple of the recipes from each book and let me know how I got along.
Hope you enjoy!
