Cookery book recs

Hello

I come back to the Leiths Vegetarian Bible again and again. There is also a fish one, regular one etc etc although the veggie one is lovely anyway - even if you're not. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Leiths-Vegetarian-Bible-Polly-Tyrer/dp/0747557160/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1218566548&sr=8-3

Also anything by Nigel Slater is lovely and down to earth. Could quite happily read them for pleasure, as well as an instructional cookery book!

I have some really simple dead tasty recipes I can email you if you like. They're ones that I make in bulk and freeze so I can just whip them out of the freezer like a ready meal. If you want me to send them PM me.

I also recommend buying a couple of cookery magazines over a book as they have more variety and are cheaper.

Thank you both,

Bowski I have PM'd you.

I have Gordon Ramsey's Sunday Lunch and although I haven't cooked much out of it, the recipes I have followed have been quite easy.

I also have Nigella Express but that might be too easy iyswim.

Oh and what Bowski said about cookery magazines, I also pick up recipe cards from waitrose and Sainsburys which are fab and free ?

Nigel Slater is a cookery god, as far as I'm concerned. I love his prose every bit as much as I love his recipes.

'Those irritating harridans on television who persist in telling us how to dress, think and of course eat would no doubt rather die than tuck into a slice of this golden sugary pie. Which is why they are no fun. Leave them to their mung beans. That way there will be more treacle tart left for us.'

Delia is good too but not half as much fun to read.

I get most of mine from www.goodfood.co.uk - you can set up a page, put your favourites in, create menus etc.

If you have something that needs to be used up, you can stick it in the recipe search and find something to make. I have loads of books that I do use, but for easy evening cooking I think this is fab.

Thanks all, that should get started nicely
