Nigellissima: Instant Itality Inspiration by Nigella Lawson was a Christmas gift from a very dear friend, and what an amazing book. My copy is second hand and so will differ from the relaunched version I’ve linked to above in font and photos and possibly layout, but that doesn’t really matter. This book is great and …

Cookbook 144: Slow Cooker: The complete collection
I bought Slow Cooker: The complete collection by the Australian Women’s Weekly from Aldi where it was on sale. Like all modern AWW cookbooks it says that it is triple tested, and that it contains “200 of our best slow cooker recipes together”. I love slow cooked food, it’s tender, tasty and means that you …

Cookbook 140: Thailand from the Source
I bought Lonely Planet’s, Thailand from the Source: Authentic recipes from the people that know them best, from Oxfam, thinking that it would be a great cookbook. And I was somewhat disappointed. My biggest problem is that there is not one vegetarian recipe. The index says there are, but all of them contain oyster and …

Cookbook 107: Cheese
Apologies for the hiatus, I’ve been busy (mostly job hunting) and then away overseas on holiday. I am three books behind and hope to get up to date with those asap, and to resume cooking regularly. This tiny cookbook was purchased second hand as a joke, because Scott likes cheese, and liked to answer “cheese” …

Cookbook 77: Share My Plate
I bought Share My Plate from the Asylum Seeker Welcome Centre one Sydney Road Street Party, as I thought it would be cool to support a great cause and to have more recipes from around the world. This book is written by people who use the Asylum Seeker Welcome Centre, whether for communal meals, or …

Cookbook 74: Spice Market
I never thought that I’d say this as part of this project, but I have a new favourite cookbook. Spice Market by Jane Lawson is amazing. I cannot recommend clicking on that link and buying that book strongly enough. The recipes I made (and I made quite a number this week) are amazing and tasty, …

Cookbook 59: The Complete Book of Herbs and Spices
I bought this book decades ago, when I was young and my biggest garden dream was to have a herb garden of edible and medicinal plants. The Complete Book of Herbs and Spices by Sarah Garland talks about identifying herbs, growing them, which bits are for what and stuff. I remember reading through the plant …

Cookbook 44: vegie food: low-fat & delicious
This weekend’s book was the Australian Women’s Weekly vegie food: low-fat & delicious. Quite frankly I’d rather see a “vegie food – all the tastiness we can cram in, bugger the fat”, but apparently that isn’t done. I’m not going to get into the argument that vegetarianism is better for your health than any other …

Recipe from the folder – Vegetable Lasagne
I had a very busy weekend, my dad’s 60th birthday party on the Saturday, with the necessary 4 hours of driving, and then I volunteered for TEDx Women on the Sunday for 5 hours which left me exhausted. So no cooking. I then stressed about what to write up, did I put up an excuse …

Cook Book 14: Moorish: Flavours from Mecca to Marrakech
The food was plentiful and delicious and everyone ate their fill, and then some. There were some tricky moments, which I’ll record in the notes, but otherwise this book was great. The recipes of Moorish: Flavours from Mecca to Marrakech by Greg and Lucy Malouf (again sadly out of print). A combination of food from …
