Favourite Recipe Books.

I HAD a couple of shelves of cookery books but I guess like most people, I stuck to just a couple of old favourites! I have been de-cluttering and given loads to charity shops.
The one I use over & over again is a Reader's Digest one called The Cookery Year. Its a big fatty but full of recipes set out so you use stuff which is in season. I've always liked that idea! Anyway, it was a bit dog-eared and food-splodged so I looked on Ebay and they are fetching mega bucks!! I could not believe it, so I am now going to take MUCH more care of it.
I also have a Hamlyn vegetarian recipe book I use regularly and an ancient Marguerite Patten book (which is twice it's real size because it is bulging with pullout recipes from mags.:rotfl:) An old hardbacked note book completes my list of faves. It's almost a museum piece and contains hand-written recipes that friends have given over MANY years. And I've got a spare shelf now!!;)
