Welcome to our website
I am an avid cook book buyer and home cook with 79 cookbooks on my shelf. I love browsing in book shops flicking through the glossy pages, admiring the photographs and the enthusiastic prose followed by the excitement of getting home and deciding which recipe I am going to try first. Sometimes it is an outstanding success and sometimes it is an abject failure but most of the time I have great fun. What I don't understand is why after a few weeks my new purchase languishes on the shelf, sadly forgotten whilst I revert to churning out the same old favourites time and time again, much to the boredom of my family. Does that resonate with you? Well no more!
This web site is intended to chart my progress as I rummage through the 79 cookbooks on my shelf and try out at least one new untried recipe each week. I will provide you with details of how easy the recipe was to follow (or not!) and how the finished product was received by my family and friends.
I will still be buying cookbooks of course and will include the details of each book on the site and let you know what attracted me to the book making it so delicious that I had to buy it.
I would welcome your comments, advice, cookbook and recipe recommendations.
Happy cooking and cookbook buying, let's have some fun together.
