This isn’t my cookbook, it belongs to James who loves Claire Saffitz (which is fair, because she’s lovely), and so he was excited when Dessert Person: Recipes and Guidance for Baking with Confidence was published and bought a copy of it.

A new (well it was when I bought it) cookbook by Silvia Colloca? Of course I was going to buy The Italian Home Cook: The 100 recipes you need to know, as soon as I could. I find Silvia Colloca’s recipes great, and her TV shows and stories fascinating. I also wish I could look …

I’ve loved Margaret Fulton since I found some of her themed cookbooks cheap at a newsagent or book store when I was in year 12. I’ve cooked from her Indian, casserole, quick meals, and Italian cookbooks. It was a sad day in 2019 when she passed away at the grand age of 94, as she …

An ugly cookbook, but it has some good recipes in it.
