My Christmas Books
posted Tuesday, 3 January 2006
Happy New Year, readers! I trust that you had a good and peaceful Christmas and New Year with lots of good food and wine... Now of course is the season of diets, detox and generally feeling miserable!
I received a couple of cook-books this year for Christmas (as ever - I'm so easy to buy for!)
From Spud, I received the bible of cookery -
Larousse Gastronomique: The World's Greatest Cookery Encyclopedia
- it really is fantastic. Over 1300 pages packed with food information and recipies... I'm trying to read it cover-to-cover, but have so far only made it to 'Alsace' - a long way to go yet!
From the Out-laws, I received an interesting one -
The Wagamama Cookbook
- considering my recent rant about the place, I'm pleasantly surprised by the book. The recipies all convey the clean, spicy, fresh and healthy approach that the restaurants claim to offer - but the book seems to follow-through much better. Oh dear, perhaps I have misjudged them? I will make it a New Year resolution to go to a different restaurant in the chain with an open mind and see if it's any better! I shall certainly be having a bash at the recipes from the book!
Come back later in the week to find out about my Christmas over-eating, plus our adventures in snowy Prague!
