and i think i have a slight crush on Bernadine as she is just sooooo inspirational!

made the chicken curry last night as our anniversary dinner.... nicest i have ever made.

between Bernadine Lawrence and Gill Holcombe my families food has been revolutionised!

thank you :T and thank you to the people on here who mentioned them :T

ooooh whats the name of the book please??

Oh and if you didn't see my update my Nicer Dicer I think is fake BUT it does the job!

hi there! it is this one

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Feed-Your-Family-Four-Pounds/dp/0722518226/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1249983220&sr=8-1

[apologies for the long link] It is really good but i think you can only get it second hand at the moment.... I didn't pay as much as it is on amazon atm - might be worth looking around!

ooooh that book sounds really interesting!

Could you give me a quick run down of some of the recipes in there and perhaps one full recipe ... just interested to see what the books like ... I always prefer to look inside a cookery book before I decide to buy it but can't do that on amazon!

cheers

Thats fab thank you thrift lady! Now to see if I can find it somewhere cheaper than amazon! lol

thriftlady_2

Wow! it's expensive on Amazon. I got my current copy from there a few years ago much cheaper. I wonder if this is to do with it being mentioned here or just people loking for budget cookbooks?

Looks good but too expensive...will have to keep a look out for it

To expensive for me too just yet. Shame because I loved the list of recipes above. Will have to cut back and save a bit more. :cool:
