So this book, Modern Flavours of Arabia by Suzanne Husseini, is out of print in Australia, which is a shame, because it’s a good book. Not surprising though as it was published in 2012, and that is a long time in publishing years. However, if you do see if for sale in a second hand …

Cookbook 153: One Knife, One Pot, One Dish
My Saturday didn’t go to plan. I was going to make a couple of masks and then cook from One Knife, One Pot, One Dish by Stephane Reynaud, a cookbook I bought with reward and recognition money from my workplace. The idea of being able to easily cook a couple of dishes, not make too …

Cookbook 132: The Jewelled Kitchen
The Jewelled Kitchen by Bethany Kehdy is a stunningly beautiful cookbook. I bought it because it looked so beautiful and I was intrigued by the recipes inside. Sadly, despite it being beautiful, the recipes did not work for me the way I hoped and it was a tiny bit disappointing. I think that as I …

Cookbook 122: The Dumpling Sisters cookbook: Over 100 favourite recipes from a family kitchen
I bought The Dumpling Sisters cookbook: Over 100 favourite recipes from a family kitchen after I got a $50 Dymocks gift voucher from my work after completing 5 years of service.

Cookbook 103: Sensational Salad Recipes
This was Scott’s book. Yes, there is that tricky past tense. I cannot recommend this book to anyone. I mean, salads are nice, but these salads are boring for the most part, and I’ve found much better salads in other recipe books. Anyway, at some point Family Circle released Sensational Salad Recipes, and with a …

Cookbook 99: Relish Mama
I backed Relish Mama by Nellie Kerrison on Kickstarter or Pozible because I thought it sounded good, and supporting Australian authors is something I like to do. The book is full of amazing recipes, great photos and it is very clear that Kerrison loves food, loves sharing her cooking knowledge, and wants everyone who obtains …

Cookbook 87: Food & Cooking of South America
Food & Cooking of South America by Jenni Fleetwood and Marina Filippelli was another of my “Hey look, a cookbook for $10” purchases. And like some of the other purchases of this type that I have made, this one wasn’t a good choice for me. Many of the recipes in the book are of food …

Cookbook 6: The Illustrated Food and Cooking of Lebanon Jordan and Syria
Last weekend was a birthday celebration weekend and so I asked the birthday boy what he’d like me to cook for him from all the cookbooks I own. He chose the Armenian Jewelled Bulgur, and then I wandered through the rest of The Illustrated Food and Cooking of Lebanon Jordan and Syria by Ghillie Ba?an. …
