No cookbooks for me - but my lovely Miss 6 got the Donna Hay childrens cookbook, some cookie cutters, a piping set/utensils and a funky apron from her Nanna in Oz. Talk about an excited little girl! I foresee many happy and messy hours in the kitchen ahead

I bought myself one through one of the reps.I ordered it a few months back and it turned up before Christmas which was great. It's Called "Mourad New Morrocan" by Mourad Lahlou. It is a fabulous book and there are a few recipes I am lookimg forward to making like "Beghrir" which is ike a cross between a pancake and a crumpet and also rghaif which is a filled usually eith savoury fillings such as goat chees, pine nut and meyer lemon zest. The beghrir have a filling of almonds, rosewater and cinnamon and drizzled with melted butter and honey. I did get two books fro Christmas,but neither of them were cook books. I got Joanna Lumley's "Absolutley" biography and another great coffee table book on Tuscany called "dreaming Of Tuscany" ( although, I did notice there are a few recipes in that one,along with beautiful photographs of the Tuscan countryside.

My daughter gave me Simon Gault's book Nourish (autographed no less!). Oh my gosh - it's scary! I have got to try the easiest one first before I launch into some the others. I think I have some studying to do

I would have to agree.I got it from the library to perfuse first and there was really nothing in it that I thought I'd like to try.I told Hubby not to get it for me.I love her other book though.
