Im wanting a book by Edward Notter: The Art of the Chocolatier. but but there is a mistake in the book where it says pie is 1.6180 instead phi. I guess its very anal of me.
Nigella Christmas - or actually any of Nigella's books - I could quite happily just read them and never cook anything out of them!Actually, might go have a look on Book Depository right now .

I have a large bookcase full, I keeping thinking why do I need all these cookbooks but every now and then when I think of having a clean out, I put back all the books I think of getting rid of.I have my late mums hand written books, her old Edmonds books from late 1940s/1950s, have probably about a dozen old school recipes books, four boxes full of cut out recipes from magazines etc, plus a bundle which I have cut and pasted from here, all the way to the very latest.Then all the Foodtown, Taste, Dish etc.Three of our son's are chefs and they give me recipes as well.I think Im a cookbook/recipe addict.

Some book with tasty savoury dishes using NZ ingredients and no garlic. I think I'll be waiting a century at least.

I got Nigella's Christmas last Christmas so will be using that this Christmas but don't really have any more recipe books I want and definitely don't need any more either.I just don't use that many books to be honest - I have my favourites and stick to them.

One of Richard Till's cookbooks had a large black fly sitting on the chocolate cake in the photo.Every time I was browsing near the book in a bookshop, I couldn't resist having a look to see if it was still there.
I think later printings edited it out ;)

Love that title!I have an Italian one titled 'Gusto Italiano - Quick and Simple Vegetarian Cooking', by Ursula Feragno.Well worth keeping an eye out for.

It will be, for sure.Two of the authors are two sisters from the successful triumvirate who wrote 'The Cook's Garden - For Cooks Who Garden and Gardeners Who Cook'.Third sister, Nancy Tichborne, is the painter and illustrator for that book and others.

I've finally got a new kitchen & I'm looking for wonderful new inspiration. So far on my ultimate cook book collection wishlist I've got: The Silver Spoon The Cook's Companion River Cottage Everyday The Wagamama Cookbook What books would you love! I'm keen to add to my wishlist :)

anything pre 1950's and oddly enough if its handwritten or has comments in it all the better. I haven't been allowed to browse the bookshops lately so don't know what new ones there are, but that Cooks companion sounds intereseting.

Anyone know any GREAT barbeque books! Gourmet/modern! I'm on the hunt for one of those too.

Julie Buiso's bbq cookbook "Sizzle" is a mouthwatering feast for the eyes & tum! I highly recommend it! Otherwise "The Great Bloke's BBQ Cookbook" is also worthwhile.
