Cookbook 186: My Lisbon
I travelled to Lisbon in 2018 and loved the city and it’s food (though Porto is definitely my favourite Portuguese city). It’s a city I want to return to, to travel the streets, eat more food, and just enjoy my time there. So I bought My Lisbon by Nuno Mendes, wanting to recreate a little …

Cookbook 164: Grilled
I bought The Australian Women’s Weekly Grilled cookbook a while ago, looking for more interesting things to cook on the BBQ beyond the standard sausages, chops, onions and halloumi (not that I mind any of that). This book covers all that and more, with sections on grilling, roasting, using the wok burner, using a smoker …

Cookbook 158: Simply Bread
It’s hard to go past a good bread cookbook, and frustratingly with the constantly reducing number of bookshops in Melbourne, it’s hard to browse bread cookbooks to know if they are good or not (or have the types of bread I want to cook). Thankfully this online purchase of Simply Bread by The Australian Women’s …

Cookbook 136: Everyday Vegetarian – The Complete Collection
So I cooked from the Australian Women’s Weekly, Everyday Vegetarian: the complete collection an age ago (March 2018) and really don’t remember much about it. I do remember struggling to find recipes that both my vegetarian house-mate (allergic to capsicum) and my friend who was visiting (MAOI diet) could eat. I don’t recall the taste …

I have been waiting for this cookbook for many many years. I have eaten at the Moroccan Soup Bar several times, and …

Cookbook 117: Eat With Love
I haven’t been blogging much recently or cooking for that matter, because I’ve been sick. Treatment is over now, and I’m about to go to India for a wedding (and a cooking lesson). Once I get back in early December I hope to return us all to our regular program. So… a while ago I …

Cookbook 113: Breadmaking
This was definitely a second hand purchase, I know this because it has a dedication to Joan by Geavye (??) dated February 1984. Breadmaking by Jill Graham is way out of print. It’s a recipe book of bread, and really that’s all I want sometimes – a whole lot of bread, freshly made and so …

Cookbook 83 (ish): Asian Cooking Made Easy
As we’ve previously established, I am addicted to cookbooks. I find it very hard to say “no” when someone makes me an amazing offer of “buy these recipes on a periodical basis for not very much money, and we’ll throw in the supporting folders and other information”, I generally say, “yes please”. And this is …

Cookbook 78: The Best of Clay Pot Cooking
Do you ever wonder why some cookbooks have dust jackets, especially when the hard cover of the book is exactly the same as the print on the dust jacket? Me too. The Best of Clay Pot Cooking by Dana Jacobi was a book I bought in the hope of finding recipes to use my clay …
