Vanessa Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 You are going to have fun, Adam. The Laura Mason book, the inventory, is particularly invaluable for reference. v Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ms J Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Nose to Tail Eating: A Kind of British Cooking - Fergus Henderson This is great fun to have. When my family was over a few months ago, they couldn't put it (or HFW's Meat book) down. I've recently ordered: The Best of Mauritian Cooking, Barry Andrews La Réunion des mille et une saveurs, Serge Gelabert So hopefully the high-grade Bourbon vanilla I brought back from Reunion will be put to some savoury uses.

ampletuna Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Chris has just got a large consignment of cookery books in his shop. There are 100 of them so I don't know if anyone wants me to email or PM them the list (probably take up too much space here?). He would get a discount on the prices listed. As an aside, I get 50% discount on all Harper Collins books and am more than happy to order any for anyone... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Adam Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Ladies scrapping or cook books......Cook books I think, unless free beer and "I was at the 2005 Middle-White jelly wrestle T-shirt" is tossed in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
helena Posted January 28, 2005 Author Share Posted January 28, 2005 Florence Lin's Complete book of Chinese noodles, dumplings and breads: finally i tracked down the reasonably priced copy and in impeccable condition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
helena Posted January 28, 2005 Author Share Posted January 28, 2005 Some other stuff i got in recently. Kimchi Cookbook; both books of Tsuji - "Japanese Cooking: A Simple Art" and "Practical Japanese Cooking: Easy and Elegant". Alex brought from HK: "Authentic Recipes from China" and "Authentic Recipes from Korea" - new world food series from Periplus. I already have the Thai book and am waiting for the Japanese - to be published in couple of months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
guajolote Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Tsuji - "Japanese Cooking: A Simple Art" this is one of my favorites. enjoy it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
helena Posted January 30, 2005 Author Share Posted January 30, 2005 Cook's Guide To Asian Vegetables by Wendy Hutton – although I expected to see more exotic stuff, it’s still a lovely book; Picked this up recently alongside one called Cooking with Asian Leaves (Devagi Sanmugam & Christopher Tan). Both reasonably useful as shopping guides, although neither quite as comprehensive as one would like. Of course i couldn't resist the book with asian leaves in the title so thanks to Kiku i got a useful addition to my library. The book is organized in alphabetical order covering the appearance, flavor, uses and health benefits of each herbs/leaves plus couple of recipes. I already found some leaves not covered elsewhere.

Vanessa Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 A couple more books from e-bay for little more than the cost of postage: Cooking with Vegetables by Alex D. Hawkes. A 60's precursor to Elizabeth Schneider's book on veg. If anything more comprehensive in its coverage (ie remarkable) but limited by the 60's-ness of the recipes, with the odd exception. An idiosyncratic and interesting book. Keo's Thai Cuisine by Keo Sananikone. A book that I remember well when it came out in the mid-80's. It seemed a very smart production with sophisticated recipes and I only didn't buy it due to the ridiculous cover price. A testament to how one's outlook changes, this book now appears relatively pedestrian in its coverage of Thai cooking. Annoyingly, the author turns out to be Lao in origin. v Quote Link to post Share on other sites
helena Posted January 31, 2005 Author Share Posted January 31, 2005 I finally got Delicioso! and that makes a me a proud owner of all Penelope Casas books although honestly i'm hardly using them except for Paella and even that was a while ago. But Delicioso! looks like a nice book with a lot if interesting recipes... Oh, and this is what i wanted to post forever - my two most favorite bookshelves Quote Link to post Share on other sites
