Hi,
Me and DH have just about exhausted the 2 Jamie Oliver cook books we have (Ministery of Food and Jamie's America) and are ready for a new kitchen adventure.....
So I would be very grateful if any of you kind people could recommend your favourite/most used book.

many many thanks

I've got that & I'm disapointed with it.

Too gamey & liverly for my tastes.

I will take another look at it & try the cottage pie thank you:beer:

I got Rachel Allen's new book Home Cooking for £7.50 in WH Smiths - cheaper than Amazon - now ther's a first.
It is really good for a newbie to cooking and has straightforward family recipes that are easy to follow.
By the way the programme that accompanies the book is on Saturday morning at 11.30am on BBC1 and past shows are on BBCi player. Well worth a watch.

I had a flick through that the other day, but I have so many, so I didn't buy it.

Do I need to go back & buy it?:p

I think at £7.50 it is well worth the money Mrs E, I have her Bake book too
She is Darina Allen's daughter in law for anyone who does'nt know
