Food, glorious food!!

I have loads of cookbooks. These are the ones in the kitchen, then i have folders of recipes and more books on the bookshelves on the landing. I have so many you would think i'd be cooking all the time.....but i don't. I have the dream of being in the kitchen making wonderful cakes and biscuits, but it rarely happens. I think it will happen more when my youngest starts school.....we'll see.
I do love to look through them though, my mouth watering and planning that i will someday make my way through the delicious recipes.

Let me share with you my favourite cookbooks:

This lovely book is from Urban Outfitters and is my most recent buy. I love it because it looks so traditional.....


......and has some lovely yummy biscuits to make.

I've had this book about as long as i've been veggie. It has some really simple recipes in it, written by children and adults. I have lots of books that aren't veggie, as i just adapt them. I don't eat eggs either but i use an egg replacer from health food shops which is great.

These books are brilliant. Our favourite restaurant ever is Demuths in Bath. It is a veggie restaurant and i'd recommend you go there even if your not veggie. My husband eats meat, but this is his favourite restaurant. It is quite small, and make sure you eat upstairs. It has lovely chidrens food, but i think it's better for just adults than children as it's quiet and intimate. We bought these two books on our first visit, they are great. I love butternut squash and hallumi salad and the wonderful chocolate fudge cake.

This book is great, and my most used. I love it because you can read it from cover to cover.

My best friend is a pampered chef representative. I have lots of the bits. It is quite pricy but the stoneware is brilliant and will last forever. Some of the recipes are really lovely. I let my friend tell me all the recipes she really likes and then have a go myself. Or more often than not eat the ones shes made!!

Have you got ant recipe books you can recommend to add to my collection?? I love books with lots of pictures and if they can be read like a book, thats an added bonus!

P.s Thank you so much for your lovely messages to me and my Grandad. I'm off to see him later.

Have a good weekend ladies!
